Without /dev/, i.e. "console=hvc0". But, yes, that should be it. Works for me. > Also, why do you comment out the EARLY_PRINTK stuff in Kconfig? Doesn't compile due to setup_early_printk() being gone. I also think we don't need early_printk in xen any more. The hvc console supports a two-step setup. One can be done very early at boot (hvc_instantiate) and one later on, once everything (memory, irqs) is up and running, during normal device initialization (hvc_alloc). I'm still playing with it a bit and browse through the console code. Right now early hvc initialization happens in console_init, I'll try to do it earlier at boot. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel at suse.de>
