From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The xencons_connect_backend() function allocates a local interdomain event channel with xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), then calls bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() to bind to that port# on the *remote* domain. That doesn't work very well: (qemu) device_add xen-console,id=con1,chardev=pty0 [ 44.323872] xenconsole console-1: 2 xenbus_dev_probe on device/console/1 [ 44.323995] xenconsole: probe of console-1 failed with error -2 Fix it to use bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi(), which does the right thing by just binding that *local* event channel to an irq. The backend will do the interdomain binding. This didn't affect the primary console because the setup for that is special — the toolstack allocates the guest event channel and the guest discovers it with HVMOP_get_param.
