[syslinux] extlinux: missing text on serial output

[Ferenc Wagner]

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!)

Can somebody confirm that it's a bug?
