You mustn't have two lines with the same ID.  So make that co1 and co2
for example.  After this, you'll still have the problem that init will
continuously trying to spawn getty on the nonexistent device, giving
you periodic error messages.  You can overcome this by using different
runlevels for example.  But it's best to override xencons.
