XOA: VMs' consoles don't work ("Unknown key pressed, Unknown key released")

MajorTom

Hi.
In XOA, when trying to use a console of Linux VMs, when I type any key (Enter or whatever) I get errors. The exact errors I get are (as copied from dmesg after logging with ssh):

May  1 19:19:12 mx kernel: [26378445.358602] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x0 on isa0060/serio0).
May  1 19:19:12 mx kernel: [26378445.361111] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode>' to make it known.
May  1 19:19:12 mx kernel: [26378445.432795] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x0 on isa0060/serio0).
May  1 19:19:12 mx kernel: [26378445.435383] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode>' to make it known.

after every keypress.

So I can't login on the console.

Guests are various versions od Debian, the console doesn't work both during GRUB and while system running.

This is a fresh installation of XOA, updated, all up to date.
Restarting XOA VM didn't help either.

What version of XS / XCP? Are you fully patched?

XOA is on XCP-ng 7.6 which I installed 3 weeks ago and then updated with yum, so still up-to-date, I believe (not trying to update at the moment as I'm in a process of migrating and don't want any reloads/restarts of XCP-ng.

VMs were on XenServer 6.2 updated with all patches available.

Additional info: one of the Linux VMs which I tried to use XOA's console with, was already on XCP-ng 7.6 (the same as XOA) and here behaviour was different (but bad anyway): hitting Enter was giving newlines, AFAIR, but the console wasn't reacting on other keys.

Thanks. Though I'm not sure which keyboard layout the blog mentions... Of the browser (client)? Of the host with XOA? Of the host with the VM observed on the XOA's "console"?
