From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:54:08 +0000 (-0500) Subject: doc, xen: Mention 'earlyprintk=xen' in the documentation. X-Git-Tag: v3.9-rc1~48^2~4 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2482a92e7d17187301d7313cfe5021b13393a0b4;hp=565d956a7e191e95d81f515196951715f2616e6b doc, xen: Mention 'earlyprintk=xen' in the documentation. The earlyprintk for Xen PV guests utilizes a simple hypercall (console_io) to provide output to Xen emergency console. Note that the Xen hypervisor should be booted with 'loglevel=all' to output said information. Reported-by: H.
