Re: [Xen-users] No login on boot with VNC

[George Shuklin <george.shuklin@xxxxxxxxx>]

You must setup console in guest properly.

add line to vm configuration (/etc/xen):
extra = "console=hvc0"

mount vm image and add following lines (IN VM IMAGE, NOT DOM0 CONFIG).
file /etc/inittab:
7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0

file /etc/securetty:
hvc0

I belive this is enough to get login prompt.
