Re: [Xen-API] [Xen-users] XCP-1.5-beta-base-53341 installing and starting Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit) VM

[Ian Campbell <Ian.Campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

The xen-api@ list is a better bet for XCP questions (this isn't obvious,
I agree). I've CC'd that list (and for that reason not trimmed quotes,
I've made another comment inline below).

Did you press a few keys and/or Ctrl-L while connected to the console?
It's possible that you've missed some output and the installer is
sitting waiting for input. This is unlikely though -- any output from
before you connect ought to have been buffered at least somewhat, I'm
mostly familiar with the xl toolstack stuff so maybe XCP does something
different.
