"Xen 3.0 Users' Manual" says that xencons=ttyS attaches the console to
/dev/ttyS0.
The direct cause of this error is that mingetty ended on abnormal status
immediately.
mingetty was logging the following message. I checked the source codes
and found that this message was logged when opening /dev/tty1 failed on
ENXIO.
 /bin/mingetty[2399]: tty1: cannot open tty: No such device or address
 
 
 /dev/tty1-6 are  your virtual consoles (on a regular linux box, pres 
alt-f1, alt-f2, etc, to reach the other consoles)  Xen only supports one 
console.  (for xm console)  so when init tries to start getty on one of 
the other, non-existant consoles, it fails, and attempts to re-start over 
and over again (thus the respawning to fast error.)
