Hi All,

I'm running several linux HVM guests on top of Xen 3.1.2 version. And
when I use "xm console" to connect one guest machine, the message is
messed up like below and after I hit "Enter" serveral times, the
console stops responding.

[root@est6 ~#
              oot@est6 ~]#
                           rot@test6 ~#
                                        oot@st6 ~]# root@test6 ~]#
                                                                   root@est ~]

        root@test ~]#

If I ssh into the guest, everything just looks fine. No warning
message in dmesg or /var/log/message. Another thing I've tried is
using minicom to communicate to guest domain via /dev/pts/9, which is
listed in this guest's xenstore setting. And minicom still shows the
same problem.

I highly suspect it has something to do with this guest's terminal
setting, because other Linux HVM guest's console running on this host
just working fine.

Could anyone kindly provide some advice for me? Thank you so much!

Following settings for your reference

setting via "stty speed 115200" but still not working.
