Comment 19 for bug 144631

Bug #139046 is a different problem, though it is very related. It is specific to the guest type, in the case of bug #139046 it seems specific to edgy guest for example. The fixes/workarounds don't apply directly to a feisty guest for example.

The 2.6.19-4 is the kernel that I was using too until the xencons thing worked for me.

Putting the modules into the domU, is better, but not absolutely necessary for it to boot, problems may come up if you need a module though. Ideally, we should try to move to the pygrub bootloader method of booting and require the domU to provide its own kernel and modules as needed. I will look into this at some point.

My question still is: what broke in the kernels after 2.6.19-4, which is when the xen kernels started matching the Ubuntu kernel numbers, that caused the hanging of guest and/or missing console?
