Package: xen-tools Version: 3.9-4 Severity: important
Hi! First of all, I think that this is not he right place to report this bug, but I honestly don't know where it fits. So, my apologies if it is not. The thing is that I have installed the xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 and your tools xen-tools, and tried to follow the steps that successfully led me to a nice Xen installation in Debian Etch. I edited the file /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and left these values: dir = /home/xen install-method = debootstrap size = 30Gb memory = 1024Mb swap = 2048Mb fs = ext3 dist = lenny image = sparse gateway = 10.0.1.1 netmask = 255.255.0.0 broadcast = 10.0.255.255 passwd = 1 kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` initrd = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` arch = amd64 mirror = http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/ xfs_options = defaults serial_device = hvc0 disk_device = xvda I also edited the file /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and changed the dummy network script into the bridge one: (network-script network-bridge) # (network-script network-dummy) So I created the home directory and then the image using the command: mkdir /home/xen xen-create-image --hostname=xen01 --ip=10.0.33.254 It asked for the password and ended fine. Then I tried to create the virtual machine and connect to it with: xm create xen01.cfg -c And it displayed just the initial kernel messages, but no services output or prompt. So I destroyed the virtual machine and investigated the problem. It turned out that I had to add this directive to /etc/xen/xen01.cfg: extra='console=hvc' This is according to a bug to this package which is currently closed, specifically number #423389. I tried to create the VM again and this time it stopped at the cron service, giving me no prompt at the end. SSH sessions did return the "it's not a tty" and rendered unuseful. Here you are the output of the xm create xen01.cfg -c command: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ kasumi:~# xm create xen01.cfg -c Using config file "/etc/xen/xen01.cfg".

I did not find any "hvc" in /etc/inittab, and I could not find a way to add any line related to that to that file in Google (in case that any has to). My technical knowledge is definitely not good enough to find a way out of this, so I hope you can help out, perhaps just redirecting the bug to the appropriate package.

I did not find any "hvc" in /etc/inittab, and I could not find a way to add any line related to that to that file in Google (in case that any has to). My technical knowledge is definitely not good enough to find a way out of this, so I hope you can help out, perhaps just redirecting the bug to the appropriate package.
