Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Kernel crash
> Couldn't register Xen virtual console driver as tty

You're running a kernel with privileged extensions in a privileged
domain, and I suspect you have the vga console or virtual terminal (VT)
compiled in, and they're grabbing tty1 before xencons gets a chance.

The later failure mode of using an unitiliased console is very ugly and
needs fixing.

Try putting xencons=ttyS on the kernel command line or perhaps better,
remove vga console support.
