Xen takes over the serial port; it's modifying the line to point to the xen console device.
Interesting. So the "Serial Console Login configuration" in the manual (v3.0 User's Manual, p13) is wrong? The modified inittab is also incorrect; an error message appears on the serial output, and in the system logs, every 5 minutes ("Dec 14 17:52:35 thor init: Id "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes").
Yeah, the extra '96' seems wrong. Can you file a bug against kudzu?
How do I get a remote login over a serial line? Is this still possible?
How are you booting xen? What's the command line?
