Re: [Xen-users] Help: cannot attach to the domain's console. why?

hi,
   Thanks for your reply.
   At first, I have setup serial console manually as
http://www.linuxdynasty.org/how-to-setup-serial-console-on-linux.html.
But after reboot domU and type "xm console test", nothing print and
command hangs.
   So I have tried reinstall domU with "console=ttyS0", I don't know
if I use the correct config. I add "console='ttyS0'" at the bottom of
config file. you can see as below:
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
name = "test"
memory = 1024
disk = [ 'file:/srv/xen/test.img,hda,w',
'file:/root/xen/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-DVD.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
boot = "d"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=eth1' ]
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd='password'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
console='ttyS0'

But the same thing happened, after reboot domU and type "xm console
test", nothing print and command hangs.
:) , I am confused about that.

Thank you again!

Best Wishes!
