Sean, Thanks for your comments. Current I'm trying to investigate if I can porting the Console Driver to Solaris. I know the uart emulated by QEMU, but it's not my purpose to use it, I just want to try the console driver with Hypervisor itself, Must it bundle with PV? Does XENHVM make sense too? I am not familiar with how the console driver works by comparing to Qemu serial, so I'll be really appreciated if you can give some words about that, thanks. To verify it, I installed a new 32 bit i386 FreeBSD guest domain and compiled the kernel with XEN support, that means already included the console driver, but after I installed the new kernel, system can't boot up after loaded the kernel, both the Xen and the Dom0 are 64 bit, so i guess maybe it can't work for 64bit Hypervisor and Dom0, I wonder how can I verify the console driver?
