Hello,
I am trying to install Ubuntu PV guests using the kernel and initrd
provided at
ftp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen
when I try to start the VM, the installer works, as long as I use
console=hvc0.
Unfortunatelly I *need* the installer to be started in a vnc console so
I added the following the VM config file:
extra=" debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- console=tty0"
vfb = [''type=vnc'' ]
The VM start correctly but the vnc console remains black and I can''t
complete the install.
I know it works cause this is the method I use to install all my debian
guests, but as soon as I use the ubuntu kernel, things go wrong.
Is there any append to pass to the ubuntu kernel that would make console
appear in vnc?
P.S: To test, I have tried using the debian kernel with the ubuntu
initrd and the get the console in ths vnc session as expected.
P.S2: If I complete the install in xm console (hvc0) and then reboot, I
have a getty process that appear in vnc console after boot has completed.
