xen pv_ops: missing tty0 console

xen pv_ops: missing tty0 console

[jon.hart]

Hello,


I followed the instructions found here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps and here
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/setup-xen-unstable-dom0-with-2629-tip-pvops-enabled-kernel/
to build xen-unstable and  linux-2.6-xen pv_ops -- this works fine so far.

Unfortunately I was not able to get a vga text console on tty0 in dom0.
I tried the follwoing grub configuration:

kernel (hd0,1)/boot/xen.gz loglvl=all dom0_mem=512M com2=115200,8n1
console=com2,vga
module (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-tip root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0
console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen

but this only gives me a serial console in dom0.
If I boot the same kernel without xen I get a console on tty0.

My Question is how can I manage to get a text console on tty0 in dom0?

If you like you can look at my linux-2.6-xen .config here

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
jon

This is i386?  That's a known problem which I hope to get to soon.
