[Xen-users] guest inittab problems

[Coach-X <coachx@xxxxxxx>]

We have several suse 10.3 guests running in paravirtualization, however
all the guests boot with the following messages:

        Loading keymap Couldnt open /dev/tty1
        Loading /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz
        failed
        Loading compose table latin1.add
        failed
        Start Unicode mode
        Couldnt open /dev/tty1
        Couldnt open /dev/tty2
        Couldnt open /dev/tty3
        Couldnt open /dev/tty4
        Couldnt open /dev/tty5
        Couldnt open /dev/tty6
        failed
        Loading console font lat9w-16.psfu  -m trivial G0:loadable
        Couldnt open /dev/tty1
        Couldnt open /dev/tty2
        Couldnt open /dev/tty3
        Couldnt open /dev/tty4
        Couldnt open /dev/tty5
        Couldnt open /dev/tty6
        failed
        Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
        done

Here is the un-commented /etc/inittab on the DomU's:

        id:3:initdefault:
        
        si::bootwait:/etc/init.d/boot
        
        l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
        l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
        l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
        l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
        l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
        l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
        
        ls:S:wait:/etc/init.d/rc S
        ~~:S:respawn:/sbin/sulogin
        
        ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r -t 4 now
        
        kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request -- edit /etc/inittab
        to let this work."
        
        pf::powerwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail start
        pn::powerfailnow:/etc/init.d/powerfail now
        po::powerokwait:/etc/init.d/powerfail stop
        
        sh:12345:powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -h now THE POWER IS FAILING
        
        1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1
        2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
        3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
        4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
        5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
        6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

The DomU's seem to work fine, but I would like to resolve this final
issue if possible.
