Xen users - Nov 2008 - problem with serial port under XEN

Hallo,

we use XEN with IA64. The console is not redirected to /dev/ttyS0. We
need this port
to configure an external storage with minicom but we cannot use it. We
also see with
modinfo no 8250 module which should control the serial port. We use XEN
3.0.3. Is
there a workaround available?

regards
Bernd

I only tried Xen 3 under i386, but if I use eg. com1=9600,8n1 boot
option, the hypervisor drives the first serial port in the dom0.
