I boot Opensuse 12.3 + Xen 4.3 using Grub1. Reading http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Systemd#Getting_debug_from_systemd There's a note to ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/serial-getty@ttyS0.service On my system, I have just: find /usr/lib/systemd/system/ -name *serial-getty* /usr/lib/systemd/system/serial-getty@.service i.e., I do NOT have the symlink for startup in place. I currently have serial console(s) enabled using the config below. It seems to work, but it's evolved to this over time, tweaked as kernel- and xen-versions have changed. I suspect it needs some clean up. My goal is to have grub, early boot, Xen and detailed, debug-level, complete boot logged to both a serial console & video out. What, if anything, SHOULD be changed in the config below for correctness? Specifically, what's recommended for getting the 'right info' form boot process for informative reporting on bugs? cat /boot/grub/menu.lst ... serial --unit=0 --speed=57600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal --timeout=6 serial console ... title Xen root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz vga=gfx-1280x1024x16 ... systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=syslog-or-kmsg loglvl=debug guest_loglvl=debug com1=57600,8n1,pci console=vga,com1 console_timestamps ... apic_verbosity=verbose iommu=verbose ... module /vmlinuz-xen log_buf_len=4M console=tty0 console=xvc0,57600n8 xencons=tty earlyprintk=xen vga=0x31a ... showopts noquiet module /initrd-xen ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
