This is the first time I commented here and I must say that you share genuine, and quality information for bloggers! Good job.
p.s. You have a very good template . Where have you got it from?

You can put “serial = ‘tcp::4407,server,nowait’” in your domain config file instead of “serial = ‘pty’”, removing the need to use inetd.

netcat -l -p 4444 -e “xm console ” worked for me. Notice the -e instead of -c.

Also make sure to get the old version of HW Virtual Serial Port, to match these directions.

some help on HOWTO – Debugging a remote Windows HVM under Xen using Windbg

I have downloaded the gnu netcat 0.71 and build. Then I try the command after I do a

xm create vista-debug.hvm
ithan xm list
…
my vista-debug id is 15
netcat -lk -p 4444 -c “xm console 15″

I was told the -k is not the option
if I remove k which will show as
netcat -l -p 4444 -c “xm console 15″

the message is shown Couldn’t result host “xm console 15″

My Dom0 is Fedora 2.6.18 + Xen 3.1 build would you please give some pointer for how to set up. the netcat and redirect the com to net port 4444 ! thanks.
