I posted about this a few days ago, but to recap, the simple line causes cloud-init (which wants to write directly to the console) to freak out in EC2, where ttyS0 isn't a device. Putting the hvc0 console line first causes it to _not_ freak out, and in my quick testing console output still worked in OpenStack too. The alternative is to write different things to menu.lst for pvgrub and extlinux.conf for KVM (or other HVM) use. But that seemed a little too "magical". -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
