vnc console only displays half bootprocess
March 31, 2010 - 9:10am
Hi,
i moved a VM from xen to kvm, when I now connect with an VNC Client it only shows the bootprocess until "starting smartd".
I can connect to the maschine with ssh.
I first had the console redirection for the virsh console active, but I removed "all" the changes to use VNC and ssh.
A clean installed kvm VM shows me the full bootprocess until the login screen.
How can I find out whats causing this?
greetings
The virtualized guest may be trying to use a video mode that isn't working, or you may need to boot your guest with some special kernel parameters. I've found booting with the following parameters to work well on several platforms:
noapic nolapic acpi=off pci=bios clocksource=pit vga=5
Give those a try and see if you get better results.
