Re: [Xen-users] No login prompt 
| 
Hi Robbie,
thanks for the tip - i put /bin/bash instead of getty in my inittab and  
came directly (w/o login) to the prompt. All commands ok, but:
ps shows just '?' in the TTY-column. Calling getty 9600 /dev/tty1 results  
- as before - in a hang in my current shell. 
In other words: has anybody got an idea how to convince debian that the  
shell I am in is /dev/tty1? 
Thanks!
Cz.

Hi everybody,
again me, running SuSE 9.3 on a thinkpad T30, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD,  
Pentium  IV Mobile, 2 GHz.
 Debian now boots on a user-domain - but: neither getty -L nor  
mingetty  show me any login prompt. I spent hours to dig through the  
rc-scripts but  I wasn't able to find the problem. 
 How can I solve this - what info may I provide?
 
Sorry, I am not familiar with debian, but is it not the case
that login processes are started by init? If so maybe looking
at /etc/initab would be instructive. How do the debian and
SuSE inittab files differ?
One other thing you could try if you are desperate is pass
a kernel command line argument
   INIT=/bin/bash
which should dump you into a shell soon after the kernel comes
up (maybe after initrd / linuxrc has finished).
If you have based your domain config file on /etc/xen/xmexample1
you can put additional command kernel command line parameters
in the 'extra' variable near the end of the file.
Hope that helps.
