Hello,

I'm not seeing any XEN boot messages at all. Xen boots OK, and
afterwards I do get the DOM0 boot messages. I can also see the
messages using xm dmesg.
root@thunersee:~/work/xen/src/xen-4.0.0# xm dmesg
(XEN) Bad console= option 'com3'

(XEN) Xen version 4.0.0 (krist@xxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu
4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) Sat May 22 13:07:02 CEST 2010
(XEN) Latest ChangeSet: unavailable
(XEN) Command line: dom0_mem=1024M console=com3 com3=115200,8n1

As you see xen complains about hte console. However, according to the
info I found here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenHypervisorBootOptions
Or should I interpret "Xen supports up to two 16550-compatible serial
ports" as meaning "XEN only supports com1 and com2"?

Com3 is the port that I can see using the SOL funtion of the IPMI
build in to the server.

Krist
