Ok. You also want to say what program, and with what
configuration/parameters, you are using to view the serial line output.

From what you said on IRC, I think that is this:

 sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB8 115200

is that correct?

I don't have many ideas about what could cause the issue, and how to
fix it. Every time I've seen something similar to that it was due to:
 - mismatch between the baud rate specified in screen command line and 
   the one configured for Xen's console
 - more than one screen session "attached" to the serial line

So, I'd first of all double check these.

You can also try something else than screen (I'm sure there are dozens
of terminal emulators on Ubuntu :-)), and see what happens.

Dario
