Comment 13 for bug 682831

I just commited the change to the build process at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-on-ec2/vmbuilder/automated-ec2-builds/revision/210 .
What that does is make a change to lucid /boot/grub/menu.lst entries so that they have 'xencons=hvc0'.

A couple things to point out
a.) I'm only doing this on lucid builds
b.) we can also fix this in grub-legacy-ec2 in lucid
c.) there is no negative affect of having this on maverick kernels (which could happen on upgrade lucid->maverick).
