<pre>VM System: XenServer 6
Vendor: Citrix
Guest OS: Fedora 19
Kernel: 3.12.6-200
The paravirualized VM does not accept any keyboard input, before booting the
real os. As a result, cryptsetup can't unlock the encrypted luks devices.
In HVM Mode, it works. But HVM is a hardware simulation modus ( QEMU )and
therefor slow. PV is the prefered way to run a VM on Xen.
Things tried without success:
1. adding console=hvc0 and xencons=hvc0 to the booting kernel arguments.
2. adding rd.shell rd.debug to get a boot shell
3. adding rescue target
4. building my own initramfs with /etc/securetty ( with hvc0 enabled )
5. building my own initramfs with /etc/securetty and all the getty@services and
targets with AFTER, REQUIRE and BEFORE arguments between cryptosetup.target
and getty.target
Everytime, it boots, starts plymouth and asked for the luks password, but does
not accept any input.
Request:
Support hvc0 virtual console for xen in initramfs systemd installations.</pre>
