Have you tried messing with the terminal type in screen? Hi Chris, Outside screen: TERM=xterm works TERM=screen works Inside screen: TERM=screen does not work TERM=xterm does not work What about TERM=linux? That's what anaconda's init sets up and expects. I tried exporting the TERM as both linux and then vt100 with no different results. I'll add that I'm using xterm in cygwin. I tried the same test with Putty, and I get the same results. It works outside of screen, but not inside of screen. I imagine some default setting in screen is not passing the graphics characters correctly.

Description of problem: When I either use "xm console" or telnet to a physical serial port and I view the console through a window in GNU screen, the display is mangled and unusable. If I exit screen and view xm console or telnet, it works fine. At the beginning of the install, I only see: " Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64 ������ Choose a Language ����� " Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): screen-4.0.3-1.el5_4.1.x86_64 RHEL 5.5 Dom0 when installing RHEL 6.0 Beta 1 DomU How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On RHEL 5.5 Dom0, # screen #(no custom .screenrc) # virt-install -n rhel6test2 -r 1024 --vcpus=1 -f /export/vms/rhel6test2.dsk -s 10 --nonsparse -l http://admina03/Packages/media/rhel-x86_64-es-6_up0/ --network=bridge:xenbr310 Alternatively: 1. Insert RHEL6 CD on physical system. 2. Connect to the serial console "telnet terminal-server 5024" Actual results: " Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64 ������ Choose a Language ����� " Expected results: Full display of text-based user interface. (Note: the lines outlining the window and OK button display correctly outside of screen, but they don't paste in this text box).
