How are the bars allocated? is it seabios or something else? if seabios can you enable debugging messages by adding the following to qemu command line (again - this is upstream, I have no idea how it works with xen): -chardev
> stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios

Yes, it is seabios, but I can't pass those arguments: qemu invocation
fails with "qemu-system-i386: -chardev stdio,id=seabios: invalid
option". I tried both qemu 1.3.0 and 1.4 from git. I'm trying to
understand if the problem is in the interaction with xen.
I'll post the debugging messages as soon as it works, thanks,
