Re: [Xen-users] Problem using the serial console on my Server

Hi

Did changed the settings in your /etc/inittab? You need to spawn a getty 
for your serial ports. Take a look at this file, you might have examples 
for your distribution there. For gentoo it is:
s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 vt100

Regards
Arnd
