To add some extra information; I was using etch domU's, created by debian's xen-tools. I have upgraded two virtual machines to lenny.
To tell the situation let's call the dom0's hostA, hostB, hostC and domU's as virt1 and virt2. virt1 was copy of virt2 with some additional server packages. virt1 was on hostA, they were upgraded to lenny at the same time, then rebooted. It all runs fine; - virt1 doesn't have a getty listening to hvc0 but console works fine. - virt1 doesn't have udev installed but no problems while logging in with SSH(it uses ttyp0 as TTY) virt2 was on hostB. virt1 was upgraded but hostB was not. hostC was upgraded to lenny in isolation, no virtuals on this one. Then virt2 was moved to hostC. Altough system packages of virt1 and virt2 were all the same, - virt2 had the SSH connectivity issue because of a not mounted devpts fs on /dev/pts - virt2 had the console issue because of absence of a getty on hvc0 I fixed virt2 by installing udev and creating a getty for hvc0 in /etc/inittab "0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0" But I wonder why virt1 continued working and I'm willing to perform tests, do experiments, share relevant configs etc. to shed some more light on the issue. -- Gokdeniz Karadag -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
