I've just realized the xen_cmdline on the wiki page has the output set
to serial only, I've now updated it to send output to both com1 and VGA.

I didn't know there were dock stations that provided serial ports even
when the laptop didn't have them, that's something worth a try. If not
just setting console=vga ought to provide some output. If that also
fails please write back and I will provide a patch for the bootloader in
order to try to figure out what's going on.

Roger.
