Hello, While testing Virt-SIG Xen 4.12 rpms on CentOS 7, I noticed the default Xen hypervisor console= option parameters are broken, and result in an error from Xen, and no output on the physical vga console: >From xen dmesg: (XEN) Bad console= option 'tty' Xen 4.12.0-1.el7 (XEN) Xen version 4.12.0-1.el7 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)) debug=n Tue Apr 2 13:09:41 UTC 2019 (XEN) Latest ChangeSet: (XEN) Bootloader: GRUB 2.02~beta2 (XEN) Command line: placeholder dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M cpuinfo com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,tty loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all .. and indeed, 'tty' is not a valid option for Xen hypervisor console= parameter. That can be easily fixed in "/etc/sysconfig/grub", and executing "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" afterwards, but we should fix the default.. Here is the working setting (console=com1,vga, instead of console=com1,tty): # grep GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT /etc/sysconfig/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M cpuinfo com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all" Thanks, -- Pasi _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
