Hi, i'm using stock debian lenny 64bit (kvm-72) as host and debian lenny 32bit (kvm-72) as guest. I enabled the serial console in guest via inittab: T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 (same problem with 57600) The guest is started by virsh with option -serial pty -monitor pty -vnc Now when i connect via VNC to this guest and on the host do virsh console VMNAME Virsh connects to the serial console from guest. the speed of the connection is fine. As soon as the VNC connection is closed serial console begins to slow down. Pressing a key 10 times in a row results in 2 chars being fast, then a delay of 1-2 seconds, again some chars being fast drawn in console, a pause .... and so on. Connecting back to this guest via VNC restores normal serial console speed. Any ideas welcome. Please CC me on replies. Thanks Marcel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
