   What do you have in your elilo entry for serial console?  We made a
change over to use the xencons driver by default for serial, which might
require some changes to your previous config.  I currently have no
console= or xencons= options in my elilo entry and serial console works
fine.  You may require at least console=ttyS0 if your platform does not
support the PCDP table for describing the console port.  Thanks,

        Alex
