That should work. It works for me.

What is your serial device? Is it a PCI card or is it built in?

Not if it is a normal built-in serial device. If it is a PCI(or PCI-e or Mini 
PCI-e)
then you have to fiddle a bit to find its ioport. It is discussed in detail on 
the Wiki -
search PVOPS Wiki and then for the Serial Xen troubleshooting one - Mr. Pasi 
made sure
to include a wealth of details on how to work this out.
