Hi,
I tried to use ttyS0 in dom0 for a serial interface UPS, but apcupsd
complains that it can't talk to ttyS0. I look through /var/log/messages,
and sure enough, xen is using it:
Jul 3 09:45:22 xenmaster kernel: Xen virtual console successfully
installed as ttyS0
Can that be turned off, so that ttyS0 isn't used by Xen? I tried to do
this several months ago, but back then I was told Fedora was working
towards fixing the serial port access problems.
Try the suggestions here:

In particular try booting with xencons=off (on the kernel command line,
not the Xen hypervisor command line).
Rich.
