That was a typo in my first post. I am using /dev/ttyS0 - with a bit S :)

I have also noticed that there's no tty* in "dmesg | grep tty" or grep tty /var/log/demsg

could this be the problem / reason? I'm running CentOS 5.1 x64 with Xen 3.0 kernel

hmmm.   5.1 i686 w/o xen...

$ grep tty /var/log/dmesg
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
00:0b: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:0c: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

$ sudo setserial /dev/ttyS0
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4

$ sudo setserial /dev/ttyS1
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3

ok, so I think this is the problem then :)


[root@venus /]# grep tty /var/log/dmesg
Xen virtual console successfully installed as ttyS0
[root@venus /]# setserial /dev/ttyS0
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument
[root@venus /]#

It may seem that Xen uses ttyS0 for itself, but how do I get around it?
