ok, confused.

That sounds like Xen claiming the serial port.

Given you want Xen and Linux to share a serial port, shouldn't you be using the 
virtual serial port hvc0 within Linux when booted under xen?

I _thought_ that's what I'm doing already with,


        GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_XEN_REPLACE="xencons=xvc console=tty0 console=hvc0 
..."

        
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=""com1=baud=115200,data-bits=8,parity=n,stop-bits=1,io_base=0x03e8,irq=3
 console=com1,vga ..."


i.e., I _have_, currently,

        cat /proc/cmdline
                ... xencons=xvc console=tty0 console=hvc0


Is that not correct usage?

(... digs through dusty notes ...)


That is correct usage.

You shouldn't expect the serial port you're asking Xen to use to be exposed in 
Linux. You have to go through hvc0 instead.
