RE: [Xen-users] Re: Problems with booting Debian DomU

I probably should have mentioned that I already changed /etc/inittab to:
 
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

Should I changed it to:
vc:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0 or vc:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 xvc0?
 
I will try to add extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=tty' to my DomU config file
