As if this bugreport is not long enough already, I want share my findings here: my DomU (Debian/sid) would stop booting and not be reachable via ping/ssh:
[ 0.515574] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. [ 0.515597] VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly on device 202:1. [ 0.515621] Freeing unused kernel memory: 308k freed [ 0.564694] Warning: unable to open an initial console. I think Stephen was right in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-3.1/+bug/144631/comments/20 when he proposed that this bug has nothing to do with the console at all - the "Warning:" just happens to be the last visible (error)message. Booting really seems to stop and I was able to "solve" it by modifying a completely different parameter: first I had: root = '/dev/xvda1 ro' which is similar to Todd's config. I changed it to: root = '/dev/xvda1' And even though the "Warning:" is still there, the system boots just fine. I have no local Xen console (but that's another bug or PEBKAC) and I have *no* extra/xencons/console settings in my .cfg now. And even when I had, the machine would not boot until I changed the root parameter.
