kernel boot option console=hvc0 specific to xen and not suitable for virtualbox ? #312

Closed olberger closed 8 years ago

Hi.

It seems https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/commit/608de63d3ed4a365d6409007805d73d1f2ea909a changed the default kernel boot option in order to redirect login to the xen console (?).

However, as discussed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2016/04/msg00021.html I think it is the cause of booting issues with virtualbox+vagrant.

I'd suggest to change this to depend on the target platform

@olberger can please you confirm if the #321 merge fixed this issue as well?

olberger commented 8 years ago

I probably won't be able to test this very soon, but will complain for sure when I do if things aren't fixed. Sorry for not being able to help more right now.

Yes this fixes the issue, at the cost of losing standard boot ouput on the normal console, since you redirect it to a serial console.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=tty0 console=ttyS0" would be better so you have boot messages on both VGA console ans serial for the record, this is what vmdeboostrap is doing.

Fixed :-)
