I can see the system boot up into dom0 and I get the login prompt so it all looks setup correctly, but it won't take keyboard input - at least not into the login process on dom0. if I ssh into the box and try to read from the serial port I still get nothing. However, if I do ^a^a^a I can interact with the Xen code, so the serial port itself is working, it just seems like it's not getting passed down to dom0. I've had this from 2.0->2.0.3 and also with the latest unstable bk. FWIW this is my grub entry: title Xen (2.0/Linux 2.6.10) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz com1=57600,8n1 dom0_mem=131072 module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 ro root=/dev/sda5 console=ttyS0 -- patrick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
