Oh, one more note, it seems that drivers/xen/console/console.c: # * Modes: # * 'xencons=off' [XC_OFF]: Console is disabled. # * 'xencons=tty' [XC_TTY]: Console attached to '/dev/tty[0-9]+'. # * 'xencons=ttyS' [XC_SERIAL]: Console attached to '/dev/ttyS[0-9]+'. # * 'xencons=xvc' [XC_XVC]: Console attached to '/dev/xvc0'. # * 'xencons=hvc' [XC_HVC]: Console attached to '/dev/hvc0'. # * default: XC_XVC
'default' seems incorrect. I see: static enum { XC_OFF, XC_TTY, XC_SERIAL, XC_XVC, XC_HVC } xc_mode; static int xc_num = -1; ... void xencons_early_setup(void) { if (is_initial_xendomain()) { xc_mode = XC_SERIAL; } else { xc_mode = XC_TTY; console_use_vt = 0; } } That is more in line with what I'm seeing, where XC_TTY would cause the default behavior for xencons to be tty1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682831 Title: lost console output early in boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
