[Xen-ia64-devel] RE: [PATCH] fixed serial console support

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

I tried turning on this patch in tip (and turning off
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250).

When I boot Xen, it freezes at "About to call ac_timer_init"
and never makes it to loading dom0.

Perhaps something changed in xen-unstable since this
was tested?

Thanks,
Dan
