Package: xen-utils-common Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When booting a PV guest (xl create -c /etc/xen/foo.conf), immediately after pygrub has determined which kernel/initramfs it will use, the following error messages are logged: xenconsole: Could not open tty `': No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [0] exited with error status 2 The boot does however continue normally including all expected console output from the guest. The resulting console is perfectly usable once the guest's login prompt is reached. Then, once the console is exited with ctrl-], the terminal settings are messed up such that no text is echoed and pressing return does not advance to the next line. Terminal usability can be restored by using "stty sane" or "reset" at this point. Searching the web for the above error messages only reveals people who say that xenconsoled wasn't running, however in this case xenconsoled *is* running (and the console does work, both continuing from the "xl create -c …" and also if connected to with "xl console …"). Here is an example guest config: name = "debtest1" memory = 1024 vif = [ "mac=00:16:5e:00:02:39, ip=192.168.82.225, vifname=v-debtest1" ] bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/pygrub" disk = [ "phy:/dev/vg/debtest1_xvda,xvda,w", "phy:/dev/vg/debtest1_xvdb,xvdb,w", ] The kernel command line that pygrub will extract is: linux (kernel <kernel:/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64>)(ramdisk <ramdisk:/boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64>)(args "root=UUID=bb7a41e3-67f4-436a-8a80-07ec26573360 ro console=hvc0") however it happens with all my guests regardless of distribution or version. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xen-utils-common depends on: ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii ucf 3.0030 ii udev 215-17+deb8u1 ii xenstore-utils 4.4.1-9+deb8u1 xen-utils-common recommends no packages. xen-utils-common suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route changed [not included] /etc/xen/xl.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
