console not responding (xen and ubuntu 7.10)

[gusberman]

Hello there!
I followed this howto: ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories
But I got this problem:
When I do the "xm create xen1.example.com" and then "xm console xen1.example.com" there is no login prompt! :mad:
And I cannot access it from ssh (the ip that I assigned it not responds pings)

I tried "xm create -c xen1.example.com" it shows how the kernel starts and ends in ext3-fs mounted.... but no login promt appears!!

(if you need the whole text from console I can past it)

Any help? :confused:
Thanks!

Any errors in your logs?

I have the exact same problem. There were no errors in the logs.
I tried it on two different computers and several different DomU distros.

Thanks,

I had the same problem with ubuntu 8.04 64bit running as DomU under ubuntu 8.04 64bit Dom0.

I took the approach outlined here:

http://www.crucialp.com/blog/2008/05/08/xen-console-not-working-ubuntu-7/

Except instead of copying their text, I copied /etc/event.d/tty1 to /etc/event.d/xvc0 and search/replaced tty1 with xvc0.

Hope this helps someone.
