Hi again. I believe that I may have found the reason: HVC not compiled in the kernel distributed with Debian?
This line does not exist in the file /boot/config-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64: CONFIG_HVC_DRIVER=y Here is the list of kernels I have (the ones that come by default with a Lenny installation): $ dpkg -l |grep 2.6.26 |cut -d ' ' -f 3 linux-image-2.6-amd64 linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 linux-image-amd64 linux-modules-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 My installation is up to date as of today. What I wonder right now is that, if it's not enabled, then someone else would have noticed, as no one would be using hvc0. Just incidentally, I also added this line to /etc/inittab: h0:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty -L 9600 hvc0 screen And booted the kernel with console=hvc0 (obviously without any success).
