[Xen-users] inittab corrupted/serial console broken on Xen-ified kernel?

[Evan Lavelle <sa212+xen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just installed Fedora 8 / xen-2.6.21 on a headless server, but I 
can't get a serial console login on the Xen version of the kernel.
1 - If I boot into 2.6.23.8-63.fc8, the serial console login works as 
expected
2 - If I boot into 2.6.21-2952.fc8xen instead, I get all the expected 
serial output up to the end of the boot process, but no login.
When I boot into the xen kernel, inittab is modified, and the 
modification removes the agetty on ttyS0. If I compare the old inittab 
with the new inittab, I get:
46,47c46
< # co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 96 9600 vt100-nav
< co:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 115200 vt100
---
>  co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 96 9600 vt100-nav

In other words, a commented entry was uncommented, and the following 
line was deleted, which explains why I can't log in. This is so bizarre 
that it almost looks like it was done on purpose (was it ? :))
Anyone seen this? Any ideas?

Thanks -

Evan
