Re: [Vyatta-users] vyatta in a fully-virtualized (hvm) domU; console issues

I have an almost identical setup, and I have no such issue. Can you  
post your .cfg for the domU?

 i note in /sbin only 'getty' -- no 'minggetty'. so, instead, i add a  
 similar

   co:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty console

 to

   /mnt/etc/inittab


 but on domain restart i see the same,

   Using config file /etc/xen/vyatta_run.cfg.

 @ Dom0, the vyatta DomU's console displays,

   Press F10 to select boot device.
   Booting from Hard Disk ...
   GRUB Loading stage 2..
   Press any key to continue.

 and there it sits. doing nothing.

 other DomU's, e.g. Fedora8, have no probs so far ...

 anyone here have any hints as to how to get past this?

 thanks!

good to know -- then it's likely a local phenomenon.  tho, it's
probably worth metioning that other similar, standalone hvm installs
(e.g., smoothwall) have no such prob here.

here's the .cfg -- pretty straightforward,

name = 'vyatta'
builder  = 'hvm'
kernel   = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG01/vyatta,hda,w' ]
root = '/dev/hda'
boot = 'c'
maxmem   = 1024
memory   = 1024
vcpus= 2
vif  = [ 'mac=aa:bb:01:01:01:01,bridge=eth0' ]
on_poweroff  = 'destroy'
on_reboot= 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'

cheers!
