Hi!
Using the following extlinux.conf
serial 0x2f8 57600 0x013
# that is, RTS/CTS flow control on COM2
prompt 1
timeout 100
say Select 'linux' or 'xen'.
say Automatically booting 'xen' in 10 seconds.
default xen
label linux
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686
append initrd=/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/mapper/xen1-root ro console=tty0 console=ttyS1,57600n8r noresume
label xen
kernel mboot.c32
append /xen-3.2-1-i386.gz com2=auto,8n1 console=com2L,vga dom0_mem=256M --- /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-686 root=/dev/mapper/xen2-root ro xencons=xvc console=tty0 console=xvc noresume 3 --- /initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-686
I get this output on my monitor:
EXTLINUX 3.63 2008-04-10 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
Select 'linux' or 'xen'.
Automatically booting 'xen' in 10 seconds.
boot:
Which is perfectly fine, but I'm deprived of the 'say' output when
looking at the serial console (lo', EBIOS is also missing! And a CR
after the multiboot copyright string!)

boot:
COM32 Multiboot loader v0.2. Copyright (C) 2005-2006 Tim Deegan.
Kernel: /xen-3.2-1-i386.gz com2=auto,
Can somebody confirm that it's a bug?
