>Subject: Patch back lost hack to get a working console when PVFB is off
>
>Eduardo,
>
>Dan pointed me to the fact that virt-install --nographics --paravirt
>doesn't work in F-7 and Rawhide.  I checked, and found that we lost
>our hack to make sure console output goes somewhere sane when PVFB is
>off.  The appended patch applies both to kernel-xen-2.6/F-7 and devel.
>I built a devel kernel, and it fixes virt-install.
>
>Want me to push it through brew before you take it?
