Hello,

I am just trying out OpenSolaris XEN for the first time. I just installed 2009.06 yesterday, and updated once to b125, and this afternoon to 126. I followed the steps at http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+xen/2008_11_dom0 and ended up with a XEN console. I ssh'd to my host in best hopes, and it was there, but the console wasn't. It had not carried the "console=ttya" in menu.lst across from the os-nv_126 entry to the XEN version of it. Is this a known issue? (It semes like everything I have had problems with are already known issues).

Also, shouldn't it have given the entry a NEW name or at least appended -xen or something?

Thanks in advance,
Tommy
