OK. so I realize how I incorrectly read the comments in drivers/xen/console/console.c. I had assumed that you should pass 'xencons=hvc' and it would allocate one hvcX device. Instead, I tried:
xencons=hvc0 console=hvc0 and I see: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=LABEL=uec-rootfs ro xencons=hvc0 console=hvc0 [ 0.000000] console [hvc0] enabled [ 0.836722] Xen virtual console successfully installed as hvc0 and, I get all the data. So, I see 2 solutions to this: a.) change update-grub-legacy-ec2 to add 'xencons=hvc0 console=hvc0' (it already does console=hvc0). b.) change the kernel default to be hvc0. I haven't verified it, but just from the data above, it would appear that it is defaulting to 'tty1'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682831 Title: lost console output early in boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
