Subject: OpenServer image console issues
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:19:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EA984AD.9010007@tmr.com> (raw)
I have a raw hard drive image of an old OpenServer server and can't quite get it
to run. The whole original drive was saved as a single file, and started with:
qemu-kvm -m 512 -hda opensvr.img
and various options I tried to address the problem.
Details:
As shown, the system comes to the "boot:" prompt, when the keyboard is
functional. On ENTER the boot proceeds until the prompt:
Enter root password for maintenance or control-d for normal boot
At that point the keyboard is ignored. I tried entering the cntl-d with the
sendkey command, that failed as well.
If started using the -vnc option, boot proceeds until a character graphic
login is displayed asking for user and password. Again the keyboard is ignored.
Any thoughts to getting this working would be very useful!
