Upgraded...

I've just happily booted 2.6.10-Xen0. Unfortunately I'm using an oldish 
distribution, that doesn't ship yet the newer modutils. So, trying the 
2.4.29-xen0 kernel, I don't get hardly as far as with 2.6:

(XEN) Scrubbing Free RAM: ..........done.
(XEN) *** Serial input -> DOM0 (type 'CTRL-a' three times to switch input to 
Xen).

Is there anything I can do about this?
