Xen Host Virtual Console missing
Hi there, I'm running/setting up a Etch Debian Host system, I would like to run guests on. I have installed the right meta packages (& dependencies!). I'm having an issue that when I run "xm console " everything displays fine up until right before where the login prompt should appear, where nothing does appear. I suspect it relates to http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#Nologinpromptwhenusing.60xmconsole.60 But what do other people think? ...those instructions are for lenny.. :/ cheers, Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Steve, Steve Kemp wrote: There are two issues that might be occuring: 1. You don't have getty listening on the serial console of the guest. Update /etc/inittab to enable it. 2. You do have getty running but you're using the wrong thing. Try using "hvc0" instead of "ttyS0". Thanks From research on the web, I'd figured these things might well be the issues so I've rebooted the host on several occasions. I've tried with this /etc/inittab - http://pastebin.com/m5005c3b5 - and the result is the same... Can anyone see glaring mistakes in that file? I'll try and get more inform on what versions of everything I'm running ASAP. Thanks :) Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I've followed the info at http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#AdditionalnotefordomUonlennyusingxen-tools But still nothing is appearing on xm console after "Starting periodic command scheduler: crond." Would it be easier if i simply used xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-amd64 instead of xen-linux-system-2.6.26-bpo.1-xen-amd64 on Etch?

Expand a .img raw disk image.
Hi everyone, I'm building a custom Debian image to be installed from USB. I've basically been following this post: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/02/25/installing-linux-on-usb-part-7-install-debian-linux-from-usb-drive/ and trying to modify the process a bit. Basically I've got the debian boot image from: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz and I was wondering if there was anyway I could enlarge that raw image to expand it to fit on a 1GB memory stick to allow me to drop on an install image that is larger than 256mb. Does anything know how I'd go about expanding the image - ie enlarging the debian usb boot image to make it ~975MiB uncompressed...? I'm not sure how clear what I'm asking is so please feel free to ask for clarification, Cheers, Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
