OK, good.  Let me know how you get on.  (You seem to have fallen off
#xendevel - do you need reinviting?)

Does that mean that if we passthrough the USB 2, attempts to plug a
keyboard into newcastle will produce a usb keyboard on serial0 (which
doesn't have a VGA console) instead ?

I guess that's tolerable although annoying.  (In the future Xen will
do USB passthrough...)


If you need to reboot newcastle or gateshead please let me know.

Also, I plan to configure our serial concentrator software "sympathy"
for newcastle/gatesheads's consoles.  So when I do that I'll want to
negotiate with you.

Thanks,
Ian.
