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 :)

the 2.6.18 linux images from Etch are no longer supported, thus closing
this bug report. As both Xen or vserver stayed out of tree it is very
unlikely that they improved a lot since.
With modern hardware kvm or lxc (linux containers) are recommended.
if you still haven't upgraded to Lenny please notice that Etch has
no security support any more as of today:

if you can reproduce said bugs with 2.6.32 linux images from
unstable please shout on said box and bug can be reopened:
reportbug -N <bugnr>
thank you for your report.
