do you have hvc0 included in /etc/securetty
I don't know about slack64 but it is required on redhat.

Hi,

I'm running Xen 4 on Slack64. I haven't console login prompt to domU until
I changed xvc0 to hvc0 on /etc/inittab file. Now I have access to login but
whenever I try to login onto the system, it don'n let me in. I can
access it using ssh, though. I get this error from /var/adm/secure

This is part of domU's inittab file:

# These are the standard console login getties in multiuser mode:
c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux

# End of /etc/inittab
hvc0:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 hvc0

I'm able to log using ssh but not through console. What am I missing?


Thanks in advance.


Christian
