Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] How to enable serial console input in Xen0
Hi Alex,

Thanks for reply. My Xen0 append is like: append="com2=57600,8n1 console=com2 
sched=credit dom0_mem=1024M -- nomca nosmp console=tty0 console=ttyS1,57600,8n1 
root=/dev/sda3"

If I remove all console= config, there isn't any output to my serial port. If I 
enable console=, I can get Xen0 booting output in my serial console. But I can 
not input anything, just like I didn't set agetty in /etc/inittab. :(

Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
