[Xen-users] Ctrl-Alt-Fn

["drew einhorn" <drew.einhorn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been posting this question to lots of lists and not getting good answers.

I have a Ubuntu Hardy laptop.
With a ssh connection to a RHEL5 xen dom0.
Running cobbler/koan on the dom0
Koan --virt --nogfx ...
starts a new domU on the xen box
and starts up the RHEL5 installer
the installer attempts to configure its network interface using DHCP and gets stuck

If this was an install on a real physical hardware
I would sit at the console and use Ctrl-Alt-Fn to access various logs,
and get a shell login using the alternate virtual consoles,

but when I try this the Ctrl-Alt-Fn keystrokes are processed by the
Hardy laptop and I acces its alternate virtual consoles instead
of the domU's alternate consoles.

The only helpful comment I have received suggested
considering chvt

Ctrl-Alt-Fn is bound somehow to the command:  chvt n

Perhaps I can build a customized installer and modify these bindings.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
