xm console oddity

xm console oddity

[Himanshu Raj]

Hi Fellas,

When I connect to a domain's console via
        xm console vmid

I have to press an enter to get the console prompt. I am wondering if anyone 
else has seen this and if there is a remedy for this?

Thanks,
-Himanshu

Yes, on all my DomUs. The "console" of a DomU emulates a serial line.
So, unless there is still something left in the ouput buffer, you don't
get any output unless you make your linux produce some.

And pressing enter on a getty will make it print a prompt.
