Comment 4 for bug 431103

Replacing /dev/xconsole with /dev/xvc0 will fix the problem. All syslog messages will be printed to the console and thus be available via the console-output command.

We may wanna restrict what will be send to /dev/xvc0 (or add an ec2 specific configuration file in /etc/rsyslog.d/) and adjust the logger call in the ec2-init script to match the filters.
