Hey Miche. The git commit 361162459f62dc0826b82c9690a741a940f457f0: hvc_console: display printk messages on console. is causing an infinite loop when booting Linux under Xen, as so: [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled [ 2.382984] console [hvc0] enabled .. (see attached file titled bad.log) If I use Linus's latest git tree and revert your patch I get the kernel to bootup (see good.log file),
