I'm using the version pulled as of Aug 19th. When I switched the serial
driver to module, it no longer gives me ANY indication of the bootup
sequence of XenLinux, not with any console= setting. 

I think I have something farked in my config, so i'm going to re-copy
the default config provided with xen instead of the merged debian config
i'm using and see how it behaves.

I'll let you know once I get it working again. :) Thanks for the serial
info.
