I am sure there will be distro concerns (such as /etc/inittab and /etc/securetty), but I'd like to get the ball rolling with this initial submission. Note that you have to put `xencons=xvc0' in your Linux .config, and run `mknod /dev/xvc0 c 232 0' in your rootfs. Signed-off-by: Amos Waterland <apw@xxxxxxxxxx> How did you pick the major? Is there a process for allocating one (I think our bklock-device major is now official)? Could we use a more dynamic (e.g., udev-based) scheme to avoid locking down 1/256th of the 8-bit major space for this? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
