also bad: kvm -vnc ::1 -nodefaults -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 -append console=ttyS0 -serial pty > This shuld be rather popular config for "headless" guests such as > routers (your case?), Not only routers, servers in general. A server does not need a graphical clicky interface, just network for ssh — and an interactive text interface for emergencies. > but it is still uncommon - people use either text console (maybe with > screen) or regular graphics screen more often than running it headless with > console on a serial port. libvirt manages my guests (very common) so access to the guest's console is as esay as "virsh console $guest" and host shutdowns are handled as well. Homebrew setups and access to graphical consoles are just unneeded hassle when you have to fix a server, possibly from remote. > This is why we haven't hit this issue before, I guess it's because most server guests are run on stable hosts. > and why I don't think this bug deserves to have "grave" severity.
