hi! i've been trying around for quite some time now trying to start qemu without the graphic screen... can someone tell me exactly what I'm supposed to do??
i want to redirect the output of my i386 debian linux to my host-console (also a i386 debian) to fully see the output of a kernel panic (see previous messages i have posted). i'm starting qemu: qemu -hda myimage -boot c -kernel-kqemu -kernel mykernel -initrd myinitrd -append "root=/dev/hda1 console=/dev/ttyS0" -nographic after tons of trial-and-error i finally got my system to boot, however, the login-screen is not displayed (i see all output of the starting system up until the ">>login:"). how do i connect to the serial line now to get to the login?? i have tried minicom, however that seems to just hang :-( should i use (tell qemu to use) a different "virtual" serial console?? how to i start minicom correctly?? could you give me the parameter set you guys are using for 1.) qemu 2.) connector (minicom???) 3.) what i have to enable inside my guest-system (i have checked that /etc/securetty include ttyS0 already) any help will - as always - be greatly appreciated!! thanks :-)
