The <serial> opening tag is paired with the </console> closing tag; that's a mismatch. The question is then whether to modify the former to <console>, or the latter to </serial>. Per section "Relationship between serial ports and consoles", <serial> is used for emulated (not paravirt) consoles, and it's the type that's suitable for early debug output (such as from firmware). Thus, change </console> to </serial>. Cc: "Daniel P.
