Serial console just doesn't seem to work. In extlinux.c= onf file I have

# location mbr
serial 0 115200
default xe-seri= al
prompt 1
timeout 50
...

label xe-serial
=A0 # XenClou= dPlatform (Serial)
=A0 kernel mboot.c32
=A0 append /boot/xen.3.4.3.gz com1=3D115200,8n1 con= sole=3Dcom1,vga dom0_mem=3D752M lowmem_emergency_pool=3D1M crashkernel=3D64= M@32M --- /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32 root=3DLABEL=3Droot-mhycetek ro console=3Dtt= y0 earlyprintk=3Dxen nomodeset xencons=3Dhvc console=3Dhvc0 --- /boot/initr= d-2.6.32.img

From another linux m/c, I run minicom -s /dev/ttyS0, configure serial p= ort to match above config. minicom always reports serial port as offline. G= oogled and tried another option "minicom -c on /dev/ttyS0" still = no luck. I have made sure from BIOS on both m/c's serial com ports are = enabled. Not quite sure what is wrong here. Does extlinux.conf entry looks = fine?

Thanks

also I'm not sure if ide-disk is a required module for 2.6.32?
