ah, I forgot to tell you that the problem I got was with -c option (xm
create tty.xen -c)

here is the output of my attempt to connect to tcp socket, as suggested by Jan:
---
$ nc localhost 9602
Cannot connect to console 13 on domain 2
---
as you see, the problem still occurs.

then I tried again, this time without -c option. and I was surprised
to see that "xm console tty" works (!!).

so I conclude that this is the expected behaviour of Xen: if I want to
connect to console with "xm console", then I must not use "-c" option?

Thank you,
AQ
