Hi, Thomas.

My extra= line says:

extra='console=xvc0 xencons=tty'

The '1' part of that line is telling getty to start up on tty1. '2' would 
start up on tty2, etc. When you tell it to use /dev/xvc0 for tty1, it fails, 
and you can't login. When you change xvc0 back to tty1, you can login. The 
standard xen line for inittab uses 'co', and is in addition to the other 
getty lines:

co:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav

Don't know if the order of 'xvc0' and '9600' is significant.

Definitely. Was that under 2.6.18 or 2.6.21? Did Felix's suggestion help? The 
standard xen 2.6.18 *should* have created xvc0 for you.
