So the hvc0 is to use the PV console driver to pipe all the messages to the Xen one. And Xen is configured to use the serial console (com1=115200,8n1). Which means that all you Linux bootup info should be piped to that. But Linux is pretty quiet unless you add 'loglevel=10' or 'debug' on the Linux command line. > > Thanks, > Jerry > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-virt mailing list > CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
