I have RHEL5.1 and XEN.

I had an issue this morning and wanted to see serial output.

I ran a serial cable between the host and another (Serial0 -> Serial0)

I checked the BIOS/Firmware and it had console re-dir on,
9600, No Par, 1 Stop bit, No Flow control

The system booted and I could see the output of the POST process.
*as soon* as grub started, the serial screen goes blank.

I tried to add "console=ttyS0,9600" to the command line, but nothing seemed to send output to the kernel.
Am I missing something?

Thanks
