Comment 55 for bug 144631

Is anybody still having trouble with this?
The only two files I needed to change were:

append to > /etc/xen-tools/xm.tmpl
extra = ' xencons=tty console=tty1'

append to > /usr/lib/xen-tools/gutsy.d/15-disable-hwclock
rm -f ${prefix}/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh ${prefix}/etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh ${prefix}/etc/udev/rules.d/85-hwclock.rules
chmod -x ${prefix}/lib/udev/set_hwclock

For xm.tmpl you can either add that line so that xen uses tty's again or you can edit all the tty1 references to be xvc0 in the domU filesystem.

(Btw, damn the hours of heartache for finding the three lines to add)
