[Gllug] Virsh Console with KVM

If I reboot the guest, I don't see anything until the login screen -
so I don't see any boot messages,

It seems to be that if I am on the console, and then someone else
tries to join the console, we both get stuck.  Is there a way around
this?

Doesn't seem to make a difference.
