[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#723656: bug 723656 - xen hvc0/ipmi console hangs

[Todd Fleisher]

I have this happening in Ubuntu precise also. When I upgraded from 12.04.1 to 12.04.4 it looks like my ipmi/serial/hvc0 console stopped working and the last message is: (XEN) Platform timer is 14.318MHz HPET

From /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DEFAULT="Xen 4.1-amd64"
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty1 console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen"
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com1=115200,8n1,0x2f8,5 console=tty1,com1"

Description: Xen Hypervisor on AMD64
 The hypervisor is the "core" for XEN itself.  It gets booted by the boot loader and controls cpu
 and memory, sharing them between your administrative domain (Domain 0) and the virtual guest
 systems. 
 
 In order to boot a XEN system along with this package you also need a kernel specifically crafted
 to work as the Domain 0, mediating hardware access for XEN itself.
