Hi again,

I made the change to short circuit the xenbus_evtchn and did testing
as a guest domain approach to confirm that i was parsing the
parameters correctly in initramfs script that init-xenstore-helper
passed. I am still it hanging after the attempt to write
/tool/xenstored/domid. At this point I was wondering if there might be
a way to get console output from the domain to try and troubleshoot if
xenstored is getting started when actually running as the actual
stubdom instead of as a guest?

Thanks in Advance!
Daniel P. Smith
