[Xen-devel] dom0 kernel crashes with kernel panic during boot
Hi there, I''ve just built xen & dom0 kernel from gentoo ebuilds (bugs.gentoo.org), but my dom0 kernel crashes during boot. Any help is appreciated.

RE: [Xen-devel] dom0 kernel crashes with kernel panic during boot
> have other problem - is it possible to share one serial port > between grub, xen itself and dom0?The easiest way to do this is to simply not build a hardware serial driver into dom0, but use the ttyS0 driver provided by the xen console driver. Just add "com1=115200,8n1" to your Xen command line, then your grub and dom0 setups should work fine. Alternatively, you could have dom0 drive the serial line directly, but you''ll have to tell the xencons driver in dom0 not to grab the ttyS name, using "xencons=off". One for the FAQ...

Re: [Xen-devel] dom0 kernel crashes with kernel panic during boot
Have you compiled serial port support into the dom0 kernel - you shouldn''t build this driver in or it will conflict with Xen''s use of the port. If you just build in the standard Xen console driver, it will register as ttyS0 and will play nicely with Xen.
