Hi,
my physical machine (Dell PE2650) has two serial ports, the
/proc/tty/driver/serial output looks like this under a non-XEN Linux
kernel:
serinfo:1.0 driver revision:
0: uart:16550A port:000003F8 irq:4 tx:2761 rx:2766 CTS|CD|RI
1: uart:NS16550A port:000002F8 irq:3 tx:58353 rx:2986 RTS|CTS|DTR|DSR|CD|RI
2: uart:16550A port:0000EC80 irq:177 tx:0 rx:0 CTS|DSR|CD
3: uart:unknown port:000002E8 irq:3
I don''t know what the third line is, but the first two work all right.
Now, I''m trying to use both from my DOM0 running Linux 2.6.18-xen,
booting by GRUB like this:
title Xen 3.0.3-1-i386-pae / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-xen-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz com1=19200,8n1 com2=57600,8n1
console=vga dom0_mem=256M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-686 root=/dev/mapper/xen2ha-root ro
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,57600n8r noresume xencons=off
module /initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-686
savedefault
Still, neither is usable. I''m probably misunderstanding XEN''s
serial
port emulation. How should I go about this?
I''m almost there by using com2=auto,8n1 console=com2L,vga and
xencons=ttyS16, which makes possible loading 8250.ko in DOM0 to access
ttyS0. However, that ttyS0 is losing lots of characters under very
slight loads, which made me think there must be a better solution.
Is there?
Also, is it possible to use hardware flow control on the emulated
ports? The console is losing characters all the time, too...

Feri.
