Thank you for getting back to me. I have been trying to figure out how set the guest to log messages to the serial console. I tried this command: virt-install -n v1092 -r 512 --vcpus=1 --check-cpu --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntuhardy -v --accelerate -c /tmp/turnkey-lamp-2009.10-hardy-x86.iso -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/v1092.img -s 15 -b br0 --nographics -x "console ttyS0" When I do that, I get this output: Starting install... Creating domain... Connected to domain v1092 Escape character is ^] And then it just sits there doing nothing. My guess is the host is connected to a serial port, but the guest does not know to set its console to that port. Any suggestions?
