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
