[pve-devel] KVM guest: console not working with custom kernel

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

I can't really help you, I always use distro kernel.

maybe can you compile your recent kernel with  "make oldconfig" and take the base config of the debian kernel ?

cirrus is working fine when compiled in but the terminal is awfully slow. 

With my default debian kernel it is using vesafb driver. But this one is 
also compiled in into my custom kernel but still not working.
