It is possible to use a serial console with a Xen kernel by configuring Xen to use a serial console and Linux to use the Xen console, which may (confusingly) actually be masquerading as ttyS in the 2.6.18 kernels. For example I use "xen.gz com1=115200,8n1 console=com1" together with "vmlinuz console=/dev/ttyS0 xencons=ttyS" (the xencons=ttyS is redundant in the kernel from Etch since it is the default in domain0) Unfortunately this doesn't help with wanting to use serial ports for non-console use in domain 0, although passing xencons={off,tty} might free up the ttyS device major for 8250.ko to use.
