Re: [Xen-users] Cant get console with compiled paravirt_ops kernel

Hi Rolf,

afaik you only need CONFIG_XEN_CONSOLE in your kernel-config.
But does "extra ='2 console=xvc0 xencons=tty'" make any sense?
Maybe you could try:

extra ='2 console=xvc0 xencons=xvc'

But I don't use 'xencons' at all, so I am not sure if it works?
