Problem:
Inability to Alt-F2 to console on Hub on Xen
Symptoms:
Updated: ***Needs Update***
Possible Resolution(s):
The work around is to configure the hub to boot to a prompt install of console screen manually by following these steps:
1- with vm down, boot singleuser (add single to the boot properties) Power Hub back on
2 - vi /etc/inittab.. look at the bottom.. change:
# RUN CONSOLE STATUS
lws:3:respawn:/opt/lwl/bin/lwl-status >/dev/null 2>&1
to
# RUN CONSOLE STATUS
#lws:3:respawn:/opt/lwl/bin/lwl-status >/dev/null 2>&1
Basically comment it out
And change the line several lines up that looks like this:
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
to
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty xvc0
Uncomment it out
Save, shutdown, remove single option, and boot back up. Should come up with standard login prompt. Can login as ssconsole/friend (and then su root) to check/change network config.
