When i start an UML-kernel, i can specify a driver for all the consoles. A "pts" driver, a "null" driver etc. I think, that this a thing, where Xen can learn from UML. I would expect, that Xen allows domU to open as many consoles as it wants (well, usually 6) and attach them to some host-device (well, pty, pts or whatever - or even screen-sessions) Actually, UML also distinguished between con0 and con1, con2, etc. I think, the kernel writes all messages to con0, while the login-prompts are opened on con1, con2, ... (con0, con1, etc. should correspond to tty0, tty1, ...) My proposed setup would be: log con0/tty0 to a logfile (there is no login-prompt, so no need for input) and attach con1/tty1, con2/tty2, ... to screen sessions or pty/pts-devices. Long story short: Are there some plans, to "improve" xen's console-handling within domU kernels? --------------enig523CB8CB7191EAE4559AEEB6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFLlqv7Ww7FjRBE4ARApb/AKCaXjt0Cvfq8cs9wTfkOQBYX3UAAACgzxPy b/1HKAULEBl2//TmU349t50= =+5ad -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig523CB8CB7191EAE4559AEEB6-- --===============0540761752== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel --===============0540761752==--
