[Xen-users] No login prompt for DomainU with Xen 3.1 on CentOS 5.3
Hello Dear everybody! I just installed CentOS 5.3 and try the built-in Xen 3.1 with it. But even the typical ttyLinux doesn''t work when the domain is created.-- it just doesn''t give me the login prompt while the domain ttylinux is booted. [root@soe-hd513-pc102 nimbus]# xm create ttylinux-xen.conf -c Using config file "./ttylinux-xen.conf".

My configuration file ttylinux-xen.conf is like this: ------------------ kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen.img" ### I must have the ramdisk option. memory = 64 name = "ttylinux" vif = [''''] ip = "192.168.1.3" disk = [''tap:aio:/home/wei/work/nimbus/ttylinux-xen,sda1,w''] ### file: also works. root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "3 xencons=console" ### This option works in Xen 3.2 on Ubuntu 8.04. ------------------- If I remove the extra option, or try to use extra = "3 xencons=tty" or extra ="3 xencons=tty console=tty0" no good either. I tried other images than the typical ttylinux, and got the same problem. I digged into the Xen maillist archive and tried to find some solution who had the same problem. Somebody suggested to modify the image file by changing /etc/inittab and the questioner said it worked. But I don''t want to change image yet because the image was working when I tried it on Ubuntu with Xen 3.2. Actually I think Xen 3.1 should work perfectly with a fresh installed CentOS. Could anybody please help? Thank you in advance!

In your case probably "xencons=console" is ignored by domU kernel. Since your boot log says "Xen virtual console successfully installed as xvc0", try setting up xvc0.
