Hello Roger: Thanks for the response.
Running xenconsoled in the foreground with the -iv option did successfully launch, but it took over my command line, so not sure how much that would be useful. When rebooting after uncommenting XENCONSOLED_TRACE="all", the xenconsoled process did not start at all. It is not visible in htop. I did not see any error messages, as it was running in the background. The service starts up again at next boot when I comment the line back out.
