Hello, I am using cobbler and koan to boot some RHEL 5.3 Xen pv guests on a RHEL 5.3 host. The koan command I use to do so is:
koan --nogfx --server=<cobbler-server> --virt --system=<guest hostname> The problem i'm seeing is ultimately the virtual guest ends up booting w/o a console. The reason why is the guest inittab does not get updated with: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav I would think the --nogfx switch would tell virt-install or the like that this is a no graphics installation and it needs a console. Does anyone else have this issue. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? As a workaround I've added a line in the kickstart %post section to add this to the inittab: echo "co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav" >> /etc/inittab I'm using the following packages: koan-1.4.1-1.el5 python-virtinst-0.300.2-12.el5 libvirt-python-0.3.3-14.el5 virt-manager-0.5.3-10.el5 libvirt-0.3.3-14.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-80.el5 xen-3.0.3-80.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 cobbler-1.4.1-1.el5 Regards, Nick _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
