First stupid question by me :D
- Do you really need to be running xen? (ie, are you doing a DomU
also on that machine) If not, boot the real kernel and you will be set :D
There are no silly questions, only silly walks....
No. I do not require, or desire, a Xen VM or HVM machine. This is what the install of CentOS-5 from CD gave me and as far as I can recall I did not have an option to do otherwise. I will gladly boot to the "real" kernel to bypass this nonsense if some kind soul will tell me how to do this. I do not see any non-xen images in /boot, how do I get them?
In the meantime, I revised my grub.conf to meet the documented options of and set it thusly:
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen-cons-vga) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet console=vga xencons=off module /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen.img
This gives me a working ttyS1 but no ttyS0
