[Xen-users] Non readable output with XEN 4.4.3 serial console



Hi.

As I posted about a week ago. I had an issue with an AMD FX-8350/Radeon
7970/Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 and still do. After passing through the 7970, it
works just fine on windows 10 for as long as I do not reboot/shutdown that
VM.

Upon shutting down or rebooting the VM whole system becomes unresponsive.
A full reboot of Dom0 is required in order to get passthrough working
again without a system crash.

Someone suggested me to purchase a PCI serial card and I did. I can get
linux serial console working without any issue including login via that
console.

As soon as I enable XEN hvc0 in kernel boot params all I get is VGA
console output though I did not enabled it via XEN boot params.


A working one: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n81".
A non working one: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=hvc0" as suggested at
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console

dmesg | grep ttyS
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:04: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
0000:03:07.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xc120 (irq = 21) is a 16550A --> Is a PCI
serial card

GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="dom0_mem=4096M,max:8192M dom0_max_vcpus=4
dom0_vcpus_pin iommu=1 loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
com1=115200,8n1,0xc120,21 console=com1"

Wit the above line I only get non-readable output. I tried it pretty much
all way around including different RTS/CTS options and 3 different tools
and the result was always non-readable output

 xl dmesg
