[Xen-users] Accessing console for Xen 4.0 with 2.6.31 pvops kernel on Dell Poweredge R610

[Adit Ranadive <adit.262@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am currently using a Dell PowerEdge server R610 with Xen 4.0 installed and the 2.6.31.13 pvops kernel.
I am accessing the server console using the iDRAC KVM feature of the dell management console.
Does anyone know how to configure the console option in the grub menu so that all the boot messages can be seen on the

mgmt console?
Currently I can view only the Xen bootup messages if I dont specify the console=xxx option on the kernel line. I cant see any of
the linux kernel boot up messages. Specifying console=xxx on the kernel module line doesnt work either. 

Has anyone worked with this sort of config before? Is there anything else I can specify on the kernel/module line so that all
the bootup messages are visible?

Below is my grub menu:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5)

    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 ro root=/dev/vg1/root
    initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.img

title Xen 4.0 - Linux 2.6.31.13 pvops
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen.gz noreboot loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all iommu=1

    module /vmlinuz-2.6.31.13 ro root=/dev/vg1/root loglevel=10 swiotlb=force earlyprintk=xen console=hvc0
    module /initrd-2.6.31.13.img

title Xen 4.0 - Linux 2.6.18.8
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /xen.gz loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all

    module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 ro root=/dev/vg1/root earlyprintk=xen
    module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen0.img


P.S.: Ive tried using the 2.6.18.8 kernel and that seems to show everything fine on the console.

Thanks,
Adit
