Re: [Xen-users] DomU console appears to hang when starting

["Tom Jensen" <tom.jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked the file /etc/inittab.  I did a search and did not see any 
instance of the xvc0 so I assume I need to add it.  As I mentioned in my 
original thread, this is my first time building a non-Ubuntu DomU.  I have 
never had to modify the /etc/inittab file before.  Do you have any 
references on what I need to add to the inittab file to make it work for 
Xen?
