Hi , I installed fedora17 on my system, the libvirt version is 0.9.11 I configured guest.xml as specified <console type='pty'> <target type='virtio'/> </console> <console type='pty'> <target type='virtio'/> </console> When I define the guest xml I can see the port assigned to it Now when I try to access the console via #virsh console --devname console0 guest Or #virsh console --devname console1 guest My console get stuck , I am not getting any prompt. Is something I am missing?
