Re: [Xen-users] Warning: unable to open an initial console
Aaron // LT wrote:
I'm fairly new to Xen (just started testing it today), but I'm having
trouble getting the Xen Kernel to start. I use the Xen binary install,
and added the following entry to Grub:
title Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel /boot/xen-2.0.gz dom0_mem=131072
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0 panic=5
Upon booting up, the kernel boots fine, but then freezes and displays:
Warning: unable to open an initial console
I've tried a few things including removing the console=tty0 line, but have
been unable to get it past this point.
This is a brand new install of CentOS 4.1, and running on a Dell 2450,
512MB RAM, SCSI, and 3com network card.
I have a similar problem here. I don't think the problem is related to the
console warning. This here is a server bases on the Intel SR1325 mainboard
including Adaptec SATA onboard RAID. I have also installed CentOS 4.1 and
the latest Xen 2.0.7 binary distribution.
Linux will find the root volume to mount, then after some more messages the
boot process freezes.
The last message before the console warning is:
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
In native boot, the ordering of the boot messages is rather different, as
many of the drivers are modules and loaded only after the root partition.
Could you please help me find the problem here? Should I use a serial cable
to get xen console messages? Are there any xen/kernel options I could try
set using grub?
Best Regards,
Michael Paesold
