Hi Jason, Daniel and bnewbold, I know, this bug is pretty old, but I'd like to close it in some way.
The original report was against the 2.x series of live tools released in Squeeze. Today, I retried the 4.x Jessie images in QEMU and if I add "-serial stdio" to the QEMU options and boot the kernel with "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8" stuff seems just to work. Can you confirm that? If you can, I'd just close this bug as fixed in the Jessie version and carry on :) Greets Evgeni -- Bruce Schneier can read and understand Perl programs.
