[libvirt-users] way to see the bootmenu via serial?
Maybe this should go to the qemu mail list, but I have domains configured to dump to serial. Works fine I see Grub menu/kernel messages and the like, but the "bootmenu" listing only shows up over vnc. Is there a way to have that show up over serial? I definitely can hit up the qemu mail list as well if inappropriate for here

I believe <bios useserial='yes'/> is the option that makes this work. http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsOSBIOS Jan

Moreover, make sure you use a serial enabled BIOS, like sgabios [1]. Standard seabios doesn't support serial line (well, it was quite a while ago that I've tested this and it didn't back then, maybe things have changed since then). Michal 1: https://code.google.com/p/sgabios/
Ah, missed this update. I am ALL seabios ALL the time except when using efi. ;) Will try the other you listed thanks very much for this direction On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 2:51 AM, Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> wrote:
