What command and arguments are you using to start the Alpine vm and which Alpine version are you using? You should at least get the "boot:" prompt via syslinux when attached via the serial console. I've spent a lot of time installing and using Alpine lately so I might be of some help. (Also, you might want to start with the "virt" iso from Alpine as it's pre-configured to use the serial console at boot.) > The only elements I have in the /var/log/daemon file are: > > Sep 17 15:49:59 vache vmd[69998]: SIOCBRDGADD: No such file or directory What arguments are you using to start the vm and what do you have defined in vm.conf? This looks to be a failure to add a network device to the bridge that vmd configures. > > How to make this easier to debug?

See the vmd(8) man page. I believe you can also set verbosity via `vmctl log verbose` but I've never done that at runtime. -Dave
