Hi!

I have finally found the time for some more experiments with the console 
problem I described here earlier (Kernel crash thread starting last Tuesday).

After disabling all possible console drivers the kernel did no longer crash, 
but I do not receive any output on my console anymore. Today I started with a 
xenU kernel configuration (which works fine!) and kept adding options to that 
till the console output disappeared. 

The first step was to enable XEN_PHYSDEV_ACCESS: everything works fine (I have 
modified xen's Kconfig.drivers to not include more on files when the flag is 
set).
 
Enabling XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND in addition to that causes the screen to stay 
blank: no more output on my console.

Any ideas how to get back my console output? Thanks!

I will keep you updated on any new things I find out...

Gruss,
Tobias
