Bug#397797: no serial console support in xen kernel



Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.18-4
Severity: important

The xen kernel package doesn't have serial console support,
while the non-xen version does. This is because in the xen version
the 8250 serial driver is built as a module ...

Xen will probably be used in datacenters a lot, where serial console
support is usually very important, so please fix this, thanks :)
