No login prompt is seen on a recent kernel

Many recent kernels use in built new-style Xen consoles which live in /dev/hvc0. Console output, including a getty, needs to run on this device.

Ubuntu 12.04

  • Rename /etc/init/tty1.conf to /etc/init/hvc0.conf
  • Change the contents so the getty runs on hvc0 instead of tty1
