I have a xen 3.3.0 installed from source code. Dom0 is based on CentOS 5.2. I
did the following to enable the serial port in a ubuntu HVM guest.
1. start xencosoled as root
2. enable serial=''pty'' in the configure file
3. enable output to serial in the guest by adding console=ttyS0 to the grub
Then I started the guest with xm create -c usrv. The vnc display is OK. but
there
is no output in the serial. I also tried several combination of
serial='''',
such as
serial=''/dev/ttyS0'', serial=''/dev/ptya1''...
None of them works.
Thanks
This is the configure file:
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 256
name = "usrv"
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:00:00:10, bridge=eth0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg_guest/lv_userver,hda,w'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
boot="cda"
sdl=0
opengl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
vncpasswd=''''
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
