unfortunately I can't find a module 'serial_core' in
/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen,
this can be the issue why modprobe does not autoload, isn't it?

Is there a reason why 'serial_core' is NOT included in the binary tarball
(Xen stable 3.0.2)?

After reviewing my boot messages I found the errors above (unkown
symbols....).
So linux wants to load 8250, but the needed symbols aren't available..

Thanks,
Holger
