What do you want to debug? In a Xen DomU there is only one tty, the tty1.
This is the tty, you connect to when you type xm console <domU> in Dom0.

All other ttys don't work, so mingetty will respawn endless. So commenting
out all ttys but tty1 will help. Of course, you have to 'init -q' to
reload the new config.

Thanks! That helped me boot my VM without the "re-spawning" problems I had. :o)

cheers,
Jeffery
