Magic SysKeyRequest via minicom: Ctrl-A shift-f [Syskey, like m or t, ...] On the sender: As kerneloption: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 Before, you have to enable syskeyrequest via sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=1 After doing all of this, you can test w/ m or t. The output will appear on tty9 (via Alt-F10 on openSUSE). But what was the result after starting the VM? -> Machine is definitely completely dead. It doesn't react on anything any more. Remarkable: After hard reset, the USB keyboard doesn't work any more in Linux (but in Grub 2), because the driver gets a timeout accessing the USB 3 hw (other USB chips are working fine). It is necessary to switch of the machine completely and remove the mains. After ~ 30s, it can be repowered and all is working fine again (after repairing the broken FS the VM resides on the host). Any more hints are welcome :-) Thanks, kind regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
