This bug may already be resolved by bz 432235 Refer to the latest version of the Virtualization Guide to confirm the change. http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Virtualization/ (In reply to comment #2) > This bug may already be resolved by bz 432235 While that covers many sections, 29.6 does not seem covered by that bug > Refer to the latest version of the Virtualization Guide to confirm the change. > http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Virtualization/ That still looks wrong, maybe better if it uses the text Chris wrote up for 19.5 in Bug 432235 comment #4 Chris C,
I'm actually confused now; I'm not sure what the relationship between the link I read for BZ 432235 (http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Virtualization-en-US/ch-virt-serialconsole-errors.html) and the RHEL virtualization guide in this BZ (http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Virtualization/) is. In any case, in the virtualization guide section that this BZ talks about, we can use the same writeup I did for 432235 to fix it up; just look at Comment #4 over there, and use that text to replace 29.6, 29.7, 29.8 in *this* guide.

Worked through my backlog. This bug wasn't actually assigned to me but it should be. http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-How_To_troubleshoot_Red_Hat_Virtualization-Troubleshooting_with_serial_consoles.html This bug should be fixed now. A bit of an issue with linking it seems. |
Description of problem: in section 29.6. of the Virtualization Guide we're not really making sense. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Revision 5.2-10 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to find out how to set up serial output for dom0 2. RTFM Actual results: confusion, the text in the box does not match the least the description below it. Expected results: - clear explanation of the options needed for serial in dom0 - clear explanation of the options needed for serial in domU Additional info: for dom0 serial it seems the following is right (obviously replace BANANA and SOMETHING) title BANANA root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-SOMETHING com1=57600,8n1 module /vmlinuz-SOMETHING ro root=LABEL=/ console=ttyS0,57600 module /initrd-SOMETHING.img
