@scott: hit by this bug today any ideas when this will be fixed in legacy-grub-ec2 ?
in the meantime. for others running an Ubuntu 10.04.* domU with the linux-image-ec2 kernel and getting no console, the proper way to fix this is to add console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kopt line, so it looks like # kopt=root=UUID=ca7eba50-21d7-4756-b797-50b13a637791 ro console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0 then you should run /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2 ( which will also be run after each kernel update ) from the package grub-legacy-ec2. You can verify that the xen console option was properly added to your kernel entries: grep ^kernel /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-340-ec2 root=UUID=ca7eba50-21d7-4756-b797-50b13a637791 ro console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-340-ec2 root=UUID=ca7eba50-21d7-4756-b797-50b13a637791 ro console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0 single -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682831 Title: lost console output early in boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/682831/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
