about the slides, what is xvc0 useful for? (a link is more then welcome)

Uhm,
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console
Say:
Pv_ops dom0 Linux kernel is configured to use the Xen (hvc0) console. Dom0 Linux kernel console output will go to the serial console through Xen, so both Xen hypervisor and dom0 linux kernel output will go to the same serial console.

Why hvc0 should be only in serial?

Tried.
Only kernel logs in VGA, not on iLOM.

Plus, iLOM console not responding to keyboard.

Getting lost.

Any other hint?

Thanks,
