",115200n8", I assume. This error occured also only with "ro 
root=/dev/hda3", without serial console, but dump was longer than one 
screen. Anyway, here it goes, including some garbage at the beggining 
which could be caused by grub attempting to use the same serial port:

My vmlinux has been built using DistCC, so I'll recompile it once again.
Current vmlinux is available at 
http://home-hep.fzu.cz/kundratj/dev/xen/vmlinux-2.6.9-xen0-distcc
other interresting files could be
