Hi,
I noticed the other day that magic sysrq[1] over serial no longer
works on the machines I have upgraded to Debian etch, but continues
to work on the one machine left on Debian sarge.
I rebooted one of them into the normal (non-xen) Debian kernel and
magic sysrq works again. In poking around, I did succeed in
completely breaking my serial console, but did not manage to fix
sysrq. I'm now more confused than ever.
Here's what I have in grub:
title Xen 3.0.3-1-i386-pae / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-686
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz com1=9600,8n1 console=com1,vga
dom0_mem=1024M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-xen-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty0
console=ttyS0
module /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686
savedefault
This gives me all the console output from Xen and the normal Linux
kernel. It's pretty much perfect, except sysrq doesn't work.
I tried disabling the xen serial console parts, leaving me with
this:
title Xen 3.0.3-1-i386-pae / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-686
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz dom0_mem=1024M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-xen-686 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty0
console=ttyS0
module /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686
savedefault
That results in no serial console whatsoever after grub.
I don't think I need the Xen serial console, so if I need to disable
it to make the Linux one work properly then that's fine. Does
anyone know where I am going wrong?
This is with Debian's xen 3.0.3-1 package.
Cheers,
Andy
