In't not about whenever the xen console is registered as ttyS0 tty1 or xcv0, but whenever the xen console or the serial console (as in "8250 driver") is registered first and thus becomes the default console. drivers/char/ (with the vt code) is linked before drivers/serial/ for the very same reason. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel at suse.de>
