RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sibiao Luo 2013-07-18 10:56:38 UTC 
Description of problem:
as subject.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
2.6.32-398.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.378.el6.x86_64
guest info:
2.6.32-398.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot guest with one virtconsole.
e.g:...-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=foo,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait -device virtconsole,chardev=foo,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm.1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1,nr=1
2.in guest configure my inittab to support serial console logins
config: 
  2.1. open /etc/inittab append:  s1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L -f /etc/issue 115200 ttyS1 vt100
  2.2. config guest kernel append:  console=ttyS1,115200
  2.3. open /etc/securetty  append : ttyS1
3.try to login the guest via virtconsole.
guest] # agetty /dev/hvc0 9600 vt100
host ] # nc -U /tmp/foo


Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)
Kernel 2.6.32-398.el6.x86_64 on an x86_64

dhcp-8-219.nay.redhat.com login: root
root


Actual results:
after step 3, the 'agetty /dev/hvc0 9600 vt100' will quit in guest after input the username and press 'Enter' keyboard.

Expected results:
it can login to guest succeesfully and can run some simple command.

Comment 1 Sibiao Luo 2013-07-18 10:58:09 UTC 
I have disabled the selinux and iptables in both host and guest.
# setenforce 0
# service iptables stop
Comment 2 Sibiao Luo 2013-07-19 03:38:47 UTC 
Use the TCP socket also hit the same issue that fail to login into guest event with only one virtconsole.
e.g:...-device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev socket,id=foo,host=localhost,port=12345,server,nowait -device virtconsole,chardev=foo,name=com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm.1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,id=port1,nr=1
