Hi,

I've tried to setup a new DomU on Lenny and I'm a little bit confused on
which device names I should use for disks and console in the various
DomU-kernels?

Is it correct that:

2.6.18-xen-kernel from Etch
start with no "extra"
tty1 in /etc/inittab
/dev/sd for disks

2.6.26-xen-kernel from Lenny:
start with no "extra"
hvc0 in /etc/inittab
/dev/xvd for disks

pv-ops-kernel from upstream:
start with extra="console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0"
hvc0 in /etc/inittab
/dev/xvd for disks

Best Regards,
/LM
