Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] xencons missing string allocation

   Ok, disregard that previous attempt, it was definitely chasing a
false positive.  I'm not sure this one is correct either, but I'll toss
it out in case anyone else is interested in chasing this problem too. I
believe the problem is that kcons_device() is incorrectly calculating
the index when xc_num != 0 on serial devices. If I subtract xc_num from
the console index, which should always give me 0, things work perfectly
for all ttyS console values (that I've tested).  I don't know if
something similar needs to be done for tty devices.  Patch attached,
comments/suggestions welcome.  Thanks,

This seems a very bizarre thing to have to do! What does this index value mean??
