I'm running xen 3.0.1 on the 2.6.12-26mdkxen0 mandriva kernel. (x86_64)

When I set the serial line using the following configuration, my serial output is truncated as show in
http://pastebin.ca/259403

title xen
kernel (hd0,0)/xen.gz com1=115200n8 console=com1 xencons=serial
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-26mdkxen0 root=/dev/sda2
module (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.12-26mdkxen0.img

The system is not hang, it works perfectly except I can see my serial output.

Then I add the console=ttyS0 to the xen0 kernel, it will never boot (maybe locked due to the xen's serial bug).

title xen
kernel (hd0,0)/xen.gz com1=115200n8 console=com1 xencons=serial
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-26mdkxen0 root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS0,115200
module (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.12-26mdkxen0.img


Then I tried sync_console and it worked fine, icblenke from the irc channel (#xen) told me to report this issue.

title xen
kernel (hd0,0)/xen.gz com1=115200n8 console=com1 xencons=serial sync_console
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-26mdkxen0 root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS0,115200
module (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.12-26mdkxen0.img


Does anyone already saw that ? Keeping sync_console is quite annoying because it can generate some high latencies to xen :/ Any other solution for this problem ?
Thx
