No joy. Changing xencons to tty, tty0, tty1 results in the console |
33 |
screen stopping output right after "Freeing unused kernel memory:" |
34 |
|
35 |
At least with xencons=hvc0 I got the complete output. |

Can't hurt to try, now that I've gotten a bootable kernel. Can always |
74 |
fallback to the previous one. |

hardened-sources-2.6.36-r9 IIRC |

Hmmmm... there are *lots* of options in your config that I don't see in mine. |
91 |
|
92 |
Could it be because of the "hardened" sources? |
