In your case it might be the only way to get the relevant information. I also have a computer without a serial port, and have tried other two things to get debugging information though they may not help in your case. If the computer boots far enough you can get the xen serial output with the xm dmesg or xl dmesg commands. Adding the console_to_ring and conring_size=65536 options to the xen boot line may give more information. I have also booted a customized xen dom0 live CD as a KVM guest where you can redirect the console output to a file in the parent machine. That does have the disadvantage that some of the hardware it sees is emulated so it may behave differently. If you haven't already seen them it is worth looking at http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenSerialConsole Michael Young -- xen mailing list xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
