[H-GEN] debugging xen

[Daniel Mashonkin]

Hi,

You might need to enable text console in your /etc/inittab file:

Mount your domU filesystem
~#kpart -av your_image_file #--if you use file containers
~#mount whatever

Edit /etc/inittab to add the following line:

# Run gettys in standard runlevels
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav

Cheers.
