It's the CentOS Xen package setting this.  But the Xen option
"console=com1,tty" should make it such that Xen sends its output
*both* to the serial line, *and* the monitor.

I take it you're not seeing any Xen output at all on your IPMI console?

The boot messages are suppressed, but if it boots successfully the login prompt shows up. If I remove console=hvc0 both the boot messages and login prompt show up.

Note: the IPMI console I'm looking at is just the local monitor being redirected.  It isn't a special device/driver.

I'll try what Konrad is suggesting, setting this:

console=hvc0 console=tty

And will see what happens.  It'll be a few hours until I can try it out.

Thank you to every one that has responded, I appreciate the help.

Jerry.
