In other words, a commented entry was uncommented, and the following
line was deleted, which explains why I can't log in. This is so bizarre
that it almost looks like it was done on purpose (was it ? :))

Anyone seen this? Any ideas?

Xen takes over the serial port; it's modifying the line to point
to the xen console device.

Interesting. So the "Serial Console Login configuration" in the manual (v3.0 User's Manual, p13) is wrong? The modified inittab is also incorrect; an error message appears on the serial output, and in the system logs, every 5 minutes ("Dec 14 17:52:35 thor init: Id "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes").

How do I get a remote login over a serial line? Is this still possible?

Thanks -

Evan
