Hi,

recent xen kernels are trying to assign a console on xvc0 instead of tty1.

I am not using pygrub (or at least I am not aware of), the .conf file I give xen is:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xenU"
memory = 2048
#memory = 512
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0', ]
disk = ['phy:vm_volumes/vm2_root,sda1,w', 'phy:vm_volumes/vm2_swap,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "fastboot"

I don't know the fastboot parameter, but try to use
extra = "xencons=tty1"
or ...
extra = "fastboot xencons=tty1"

alternatively, add a getty on xvc0 to your guests inittab and
add xvc0 to /etc/securetty


and the inittab looks like this (it is a jailtime.org <http://jailtime.org> COS5 64bit image):

Cheers,

Stephan
