Re: Console of P2V?

well libvirt has to know about the serial port and attach it to the console. do you have something like this in your XML file?   <serial type='pty'>       <source path='/dev/pts/0'/>       <target type='isa-serial' port='0'>         <model name='isa-serial'/>       </target>       <alias name='serial0'/>     </serial>     <console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/0'>       <source path='/dev/pts/0'/>       <target type='serial' port='0'/>       <alias name='serial0'/>     </console>
