Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
We are running several gentoo systems in our datacenter with a basic |
| 4 |
installation of gentoo (kernel version 2.6.28-gentoo-r5) |
| 5 |
In the kernel, we also have included KVM module support, which so far |
| 6 |
works fine. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
But we now coming to the point where we want to install virtual guest |
| 9 |
systems to some of the systems. |
| 10 |
Since the servers are kept very basically do we not have any X packages |
| 11 |
installed, nor do we plant to. |
| 12 |
But from documentation and experience point of view, does it look like |
| 13 |
that we exactly do require something like that. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
So my question is, is there any way to install a guest system using KVM |
| 16 |
without having X system packages installed or a monitor plugged on? |
| 17 |
Meaning booting up the guest system, connecting from the localhost |
| 18 |
using some kind of serial console or something like that to connect to |
| 19 |
the particular virtual guest and run the installation task? |
| 20 |
|

Thanks and regards, |
