Patch updates ;) xen-kill-earlyprintk-hacks.patch reverse the hackish early_console bits for xen early-printk-boot-console.patch some generic early printk & boot console fixups (already sent to lkml). xen-hvc-console.patch slightly updated xen-hvc-console patch, CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK isn't commented out any more. xen-hvc-earlyprintk.patch add early printk support via hvc console, enable using "earlyprintk=xen" on the kernel command line. cheers, Gerd -- Gerd Hoffmann
