For all others I much prefer to use the Xen serial console, i.e. "xl console domuthing" sort of thing... In my Linux DOMU PVH guests I have this: extra = "mitigations=off console=hvc0 rdshell" The "console=" part sets the serial port to be the console, I believe. At one point you also had to change stuff in /etc in the Linux DOMU, but I really don't remember if that is required any more. I don't use the vfb or the vga stuff at all in those cases. You might try leaving that off of your LinuxMint PVH guest and add the console= part and try "xl console domusortofthing" This is a ArchLinux PVH guest: kernel = "/lhome/xen/kernels/ArchLinux/5.18.16-arch1-1/vmlinux" ramdisk = "/lhome/xen/kernels/ArchLinux/5.18.16-arch1-1/initramfs-linux.img" type="pvh" memory = 4096 cpu_weight = 128 name = "oldbill" vif = [ 'bridge=bridge4' ] device_model = '/usr/pkg/libexec/qemu-dm' disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/rustvg0-oldbilllv0_1,xvda,w','phy:/dev/mapper/rustvg0-oldbilllv1,xvdb,w','file:/lhome/xen/isos/archlinux-2019.08.01-x86_64.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/mapper/ssdvg0-oldbilllv2,xvdd,w' ] root = "/dev/xvda1" extra = "mitigations=off console=hvc0 rdshell" -- Brad Spencer - b...@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
