Xen users - Feb 2008 - xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

Hello Xen user list. This is to request installation help for a Xen 3.1
guest domain. Xen installation source was CentOS 5.1 DVD. Dom0 and a guest
(clientdom) have been installed, but clientdom cannot be connected to.
Issuing command "xm create -c clientdom" generates message lines:

  Using config file "./clientdom".

  Started domain clientdom

  xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

"xen top" shows clientdom (as well as Domain-0) started, but "xm
console
clientdom" produces the same error, "xenconsole: Could not read tty
from
store: No such file or directory."

 

Here''s my clientdom file:

name = "clientdom"

uuid = "6bf7a6a0-d5c6-463e-a395-6d689a1819c5"

maxmem = 256

memory = 256

vcpus = 1

builder = "hvm"

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

boot = "d"

pae = 1

acpi = 1

apic = 1

on_poweroff = "destroy"

on_reboot = "restart"

on_crash = "restart"

device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"

sdl = 0

vnc = 0 

vncunused = 0

vncdisplay = "-5900"

disk = [
"phy:/dev/VolGroup00/client,hda,w","file:/tmp/Centos5.1.iso,hdb:cdrom,r"
]

#vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:57:66:7d,bridge=xenbr0,type=ioemu" ]

vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:57:66:7d,bridge=xenbr0" ]

serial = "pty"

 

Several instances of the symptom have been encountered before, due to
incorrect locations for hvmloader and qemu-dm, which seem to be in the
correct locations in this case (/usr/lib/xen/boot & /usr/lib/xen/bin
respectively).

 

Has anyone else run into this and resolved it? Any advice greatly
appreciated.

 

Regards,

Hamid.
