[Xen-users] domU xenified kernel, 2.6.29.6, no console?
Hi, I''m testing 2.6.29.6 (with suse patches) xen kernel, with a minimal busybox-based initrd. After some kernel config tweaking (including disabling DMI scanning, thanks to http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-04/msg00128.html) it finally works. Well, almost:P Here''s a snippet of boot log: #===Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled console [xvc-1] enabled ... Xen virtual console successfully installed as xvc0 ... XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0 drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) Freeing unused kernel memory: 200k freed Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 3416k #=== ... and that;s it. The output stops there. The same initrd with similar config works fine with 2.6.30 pv_ops kernel. #===Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled console [hvc0] enabled ... XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0 drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) Freeing unused kernel memory: 332k freed Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 3116k udhcpc (v1.14.3) started Sending discover...

Any ideas what I''m missing? Some mandatory kernel config perhaps? -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Not sure why. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
