Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17
Severity: normal
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-08/msg00472.html
bit of a pain, this one. remote servers, only accessible via serial
links and power-switches. there's no HOWTO out there describing what's
needed, and the default kernel appears to have 8250/16550 serial
built-in rather than allowing for emulation via the xen hypervisor.
oops!

Add xencons=xvc on the kernel commandline. (And make sure that you use
xvc0 for the local console.)
