Oops, I meant xencons=off.

Hmm, that's right:
        @@ -622,7 +622,7 @@ config HVC_BEAT
         
         config HVC_XEN
                bool "Xen Hypervisor Console support"
        -       depends on XEN
        +       depends on PARAVIRT_XEN
                select HVC_DRIVER
                default y

and as you would expect I have no CONFIG_HVC_* mentioned
in /boot/config-2.6.26-xen-amd64.

I tried again and it indeed doesn't work. I think I must selected the
wrong kernel (several times!) previously. Sorry for the misinformation.

I'd guess it won't be as simple as removing this bit of Kconfig.

Ian.
