Re: [Xen-devel] console questions

Alex,

linux-2.6.18-xen.hg cset 153:12c399692d44 changed the xencons default
to xvc for both dom0 and domU.  I believe this ia64 patch is
appropriate though I'm slightly unsure because everything seems to
work correctly, even without it!  Nonetheless, I built and boot-tested
dom0 with this patch.
