[Xen-devel] reg dom0 console

[Prasad B <netlogic.xen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

After a few months of hiatus, we have resumed working on mips port of Xen. We are at the point of booting dom0 userland (init process and its children). 

The init process gets spawned and in turn forks off processes to run commands in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rcS. However, the getty process does not seem to run subsequently and hence the login prompt is not displayed. Dom 0 does not use the uart and uses the hvc0 driver.

I searched the web for hints and there were suggestions to add directives such as 

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 hvc0 

to /etc/inittab file. But that does not seem to help. 

Could you please give any pointers to get getty talk to the console driver correctly ?
