[Xen-users] Re: Problems with booting Debian DomU

It worked! I added extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=tty' to my DomU config file and it fired right up!!  Thank you so much!
 
My only problem now is when I try to boot a CentOS 4 DomU on the Lenny Dom0, I get:
 
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
 
This is my /etc/xen config file:
 
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686"
memory=128
name="backend"
root="/dev/sda1 ro"
disk=["phy:vg0/backend_root,sda1,w"]
extra="4"
extra="clocksource=jiffies"
extra="console=hvc0 xencons=tty"
vif=["bridge=eth0"]
