I first wanted to object to this part, as I was sure this used to be "com1,vga". Yet indeed it's been almost 19 years ago when this was changed (92877a1f9ab2 ["x86: Auto-probe the serial port baud rate if 'com1' or 'com2' is"]). > - mark dtuart option as available on RISC-V, > - document fall back to /chosen/stdout-path. > > Signed-off-by: Michal Orzel <[email protected]> Acked-by: Jan Beulich <[email protected]> > --- a/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc > +++ b/docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc > @@ -430,9 +430,10 @@ The following are examples of correct specifications: > Specify the size of the console ring buffer. > > ### console > -> `= List of [ vga | com1[H,L] | com2[H,L] | pv | dbgp | ehci | xhci | none > ]` > +> `= List of [ vga | com1[H,L] | com2[H,L] | pv | dbgp | ehci | xhci | > dtuart | none ]` > > -> Default: `console=com1,vga` > +> Default (x86): `console=vga` > +> Default (Arm, RISC-V): `console=dtuart` Any reason to not also cover PPC here?
