Public bug reported: When running the latest Precise kernel under the latest Xen, the console is corrupted on boot. This does not occur when booting the kernel directly (no Xen) or when booting under Xen but using "nomodeset".
The affected box is a Compaq Presario 6450nx with latest BIOS and a freshly installed (yesterday) daily image of the server version. The kernels 3.2.0-8.15 and 3.2.0-9.16 are affected.
