First stupid question by me :D 1. Do you really need to be running xen? (ie, are you doing a DomU also on that machine) If not, boot the real kernel and you will be set :D 2. If you really do NEED xen then I assume you are trying to do this serial stuff on Dom0 (where the serial port has a special purpose) ... why not do it on a DomU instead? Thanks, Johnny Hughes
