> My question is how to know whether bitvisor is running? I read the manual but cannot get an answer. I have pressed the key "F12", but cannot get the message "F12 is pressed". By the way, where is the path of  log printed out by bitvisor?

"F12 is pressed" message is printed to text console or serial port
depending on the CONFIG_TTY_SERIAL.  The text console is a standard
80x25 text mode of the VGA, which is generally not used now.  The "F12
is pressed" message only works with a PS/2 keyboard, and if it is
properly working, Caps Lock and Num Lock LED of the PS/2 keyboard are
turned on/off at the same time.

You can use the BitVisor debug interface to see whether the BitVisor
is running or look at logs.  "9 Advanced Operation" section in the
manual describes about that, but the manual is old.  The command line
tool source code is now in the tools/dbgsh/ directory, not in the
vmmcall_dbgsh.c.  Just use the make command in that directory to build
the tool.
