The hvc0 terminal


Hi all,
I would like to get some information regrading the hvc0 terminal. A search on the web hasn't came with useful stuff.
My problem is that I want to launch a Lguest guest, but I don't get a login prompt when I'm using a "regular" virtual terminal (aka tty[1-6]). A getty on hvc0 is installed, so this is not the problem.
Should I log into this terminal on some way? If this is possible then how I do it? Do I need to open it in some other way than openning another "regular" terminal?
I know that hvc0 is used by Xen, so I guess that some of you are familiar with it.

Thank you and best regards,

Eviatar
