To be able to look at what a Xen kernel prints on the console (thanks Donour…):

1. compile Xen with the debug option enabled (cf. file …./xen-XXX/xen/Rules.mk)
2. in grub specify the console you want to attach (kernel /boot/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=1048576 com1=115200,8n1 console=vga,com1 sync_console)
3. log in ralph_sp as ralph
4. configure the console: platform set console -s sp -e -S 115200
5. get the console: platform get console
6. look at the console: platform console
