Hi!

I've my Xen server setup with Xen 3.2 built from sources and 2.6.18
custom kernel from mercurial.

I've got an etch HVM domU working fine, but now Im'm trying
paravirtualization. I built a custom 2.6.24.2 vanilla kernel according
to http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Kernel.org_Linux_on_Xen but I
can't see the console.

I added console=xvc0 to the extra section (I don't have hvc0, is it
normal?) but I can't see anything.

I can also see these lines in the xm dmesg:

(XEN) *** Serial input -> DOM0 (type 'CTRL-a' three times to switch
input to Xen)

And even if I can't see the boot console, when I execute xm list the
time count up:

wapi:~# xm li
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0  1764     4     r-----    726.1
pv-base                                      9   256     1     r-----   1221.1


Thanks for any help, I'm a bit stuck at this point...

Best regards.
