xen to kvm migration

  • 772

i've just migrated some xen vms to kvm. so far everything is working fine.

except for one little thing: when i start virtual-manager and looking at the vm's display, there is no login: prompt.

i see, the boot output and everything starts up fine...

i think init, might be pointing to a wrong display.

thanks a lot for any reply...

BTW: i did the migration of the ubuntu hardy vms by hand (followed this tutorial that google returned me). worked like a charm, except for the login prompt on the host's screen.

    check your image's /etc/inittab and see if the getty lines are using real tty and not referencing hvc0 or another xen specific device.

  2. how did you perform the migration? virt-v2v should have set things up for you.

    In any case, booting with a liveCD iso should give you access to fix whatever boot issues you may have
