There are no silly questions, only silly walks....

No.  I do not require, or desire, a Xen VM or HVM machine.  This is what
the install of CentOS-5 from CD gave me and as far as I can recall I did
not have an option to do otherwise.  I will gladly boot to the "real"
kernel to bypass this nonsense if some kind soul will tell me how to do
this.  I do not see any non-xen images in /boot, how do I get them?


In the meantime, I revised my grub.conf to meet the documented options of
and set it thusly:

title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen-cons-vga)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet console=vga xencons=off
        module /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen.img

This gives me a working ttyS1 but no ttyS0
