Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Make Xend use consoled and xc_console

Please can you provide some more detail, particularly how it changes
things from a user point of view. How do you disconnect and reconnect to
consoles? Does the '-c' option to xm still work? Can the user control
allocation of are tty names?

Also, should consoled really line in /usr/sbin/ ?  I think it should be
in /usr/lib/xen/bin

(Didn't we decide /usr/libexec was deprecated anyhow?)

BTW: does this fix the console output corruption bug that's on the
books?

Thanks,
Ian
