I installed OpenSolaris from SXDE 1/08 (build 79a), which also includes Solaris xVM. I configured Xen to output its messages to the serial console, as described here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/serial-console/. When I booted xVM, everything worked as expected: I was able to see Xen messages on the serial console and I was also able to switch the console between Xen and dom0 (by pressing Ctrl-a three times), and saw console messages from dom0.
Then I downloaded Xen source from the build 79 on-gate: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b79/. I built a new xen.gz image and copied it on the machine where I run Solaris xVM. Then I booted the newly compiled xen.gz image, and found that although I was still able to switch the console between Xen and dom0, I was not getting any output from dom0 (I did get the output from Xen). I did not change the dom0 guest. It was the guest that comes with SXDE 1/08 (b79) and that was able to print to serial console when the xen.gz from SXDE 1/08 was loaded. All I did was recompile xen.gz, and now dom0 can't output to serial console. Any idea what could be the reason?
