Title:
Add serial console
I've been using execscript, like this:
target=$1
(printf serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no
--stop=1\nterminal --dumb serial\n\n; cat $target/boot/grub/menu.lst)
$target/tmp/menu.lst mv $target/tmp/menu.lst
$target/boot/grub/menu.lst
chroot $target sed -i -e '/^#
SGABIOS hack is:
sudo dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /usr/share/qemu/vgabios-cirrus.bin
sudo ln .../sgabios.bin /usr/share/qemu/vgabios-cirrus.bin
(symlink is not enough for some reason)

Sergey, the other bug notwithstanding, do you have a patch against
vmbuilder which you've been using to always define a serial console, or
have you been using templates (or doing it by hand)?

This still won't give full serial console access (BIOS and GRUB won't be
configured).
In Karmic, replacing VGA BIOS with Google's SGABIOS works, and GRUB can
be configured in --execscript. In Lucid, these workarounds don't work
anymore (the latter is bug 703959).

I'm just starting to play with 10.04, and ran into this. Not having easy
console access for remote virtual servers is a big step backwards from
xen. Sure, I can use templates, and work around all these, but there's a
lot of extra work for what I think should be normal.
