I'm working on booting Xen 4.5 on an opensuse 13.2 GRUB2+UEFI box. The system fully boots to non-Xen, kernel-default. In the Xen case, Until Xen 4.6 comes available, I have grub2 chainloading xen.efi. The .efi is found, Xen loads, and hands off to the kernel-xen boot process. It gets fairly far then gets caught in a systemd-journal loop. Output at serial console is Xen 4.5.0_03-361 (c/s ) EFI loader Using configuration file 'xen.cfg' vmlinuz-xen: 0x000000008c0d1000-0x000000008c5aaf10 initrd-xen: 0x000000008b346000-0x000000008c0d0c78 0x0000:0x00:0x19.0x0: ROM: 0x10000 bytes at 0x92963018 0x0000:0x04:0x00.0x0: ROM: 0x8000 bytes at 0x92953018 0x0000:0x10:0x00.0x0: ROM: 0x10800 bytes at 0x9293b018 Xen 4.5.0_03-361 (XEN) Xen version 4.5.0_03-361 (abuild@suse.de) (gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.8.3 20140627 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 212064]) debug=n Mon Mar 16 16:14:15 UTC 2015 ...

Usually I'd use systemd journal & serial console to debug this. But it looks like those are the problem here. How do I get more detail out of logs to figure out what's causing this problem?
