Re: [Xen-devel] Will Xen support PCI add-on card for serial ports?

["Neo Jia" <neojia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Keir,

I tried your method with my serial port PCI card and I got the Xen output from it. But the Dom0 hangs later. Is there anyway to debug it?

com1=115200,8n1,0xc00,5 console=com1

...would set up console output at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit. The I/O-port base for the UART has been determined to be 0xc00,
and the UART interrupts on IRQ line 5.

No, I only have experience (and even that only a little) with unbranded
generic PCI serial cards.

probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
