Subject: [PATCH 1/3] xen/documentation: Mention 'earlyprintk=xen' in the documentation.
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:54:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361825650-14031-2-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361825650-14031-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall
(console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console.
Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all'
to output said information.
