Just to add, I have tried both com1 and com2 from baud rate 38400 to 115200 no luck. Inputs much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Pasi,

Serial console just doesn't seem to work. In extlinux.conf file I have

# location mbr
serial 0 115200
default xe-serial
prompt 1
timeout 50
...

label xe-serial
  # XenCloudPlatform (Serial)
  kernel mboot.c32
  append /boot/xen.3.4.3.gz com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga dom0_mem=752M lowmem_emergency_pool=1M crashkernel=64M@32M --- /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32 root=LABEL=root-mhycetek ro console=tty0 earlyprintk=xen nomodeset xencons=hvc console=hvc0 --- /boot/initrd-2.6.32.img

From another linux m/c, I run minicom -s /dev/ttyS0, configure serial port to match above config. minicom always reports serial port as offline. Googled and tried another option "minicom -c on /dev/ttyS0" still no luck. I have made sure from BIOS on both m/c's serial com ports are enabled. Not quite sure what is wrong here. Does extlinux.conf entry looks fine?

Thanks

also I'm not sure if ide-disk is a required module for 2.6.32?
