However the default first console is the emulated serial with libxl (see libxl__primary_console_find), that is what you get when you execute "xl console" without -t. But if you edit inittab to spawn a getty on hvc0 and then execute "xl console -t pv" you should get access to the PV console. -- xen mailing list xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
