A clarification question: can a virtual ASCII console be attached to another 
virtual machine? Maybe I'm being dense, but I can't make out from the docs 
whether the support in 5.3 is just for the HMC "device" being attached to a 
Linux virtual machine, or whether a virtual ASCII console can be attached to 
another user.

I have a PVM-compatible console driver mostly working. I also have a working 
LAT-based console, although it would still be problematical if the kernel can't 
boot.  AFAIK, the CTC console driver was never updated for 2.4 kernels (it was 
a 2.2 vintage thing), so it would probably take some surgery to get it working 
on a modern kernel.
