This error indicates that the corresponding device could not be
found/used/opened. In the Xen context this almost always hints at the wrong
device name.
"respawn" means reopen if connection was closed. In /etc/inittab there are
several lines dealing with terminals (format:
<id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>):
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

Hmm... ttyS? Those devices refer to serial ports. In domU's /etc/inittab
you should look for the line with "xvc0" and just replace the "xvc0" with
"hvc0" -- this should do the trick.

Yes, sir!! That did the trick!! Now I'm able to access domU through console without any complains.

And for the record, when I said ttyS*, I should say tty*. It was my mistake, sorry for that.

Thanks and regards!! You save my day!!
