How do you get xen to output to serial port?
Here's what I use to get both xen and dom0 output on HP ILO virtual
serial port, which is recognized as second serial port by the server.

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-3.4.1 com2=115200,8n1 console=vga,com2
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/rootvg/rootlv
console=vga console=ttyS1
        module /initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5xen.img

and I use this entry on inittab

co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty console 115200 vt100-nav

to tell the truth, I'm not really sure about the console line part on
"module /vmlinuz", but since it works I just leave it as it is :D
