I haven't run Xen on ARM yet. But just a random thought:
Is it possible that you need to provide the console=hvc0 for the boot
cmdline of dom0?

dom0 needs share the serial port with Xen.

I have added the serial port in the bootargs passed to the kernel. The bootargs

passed to the dom0 when executing with Xen are the same bootargs which I pass 

when I run the kernel standalone without Xen and at that time I am able to see the 

kernel bootlog and a tty console on the serial port.

But is dom0 booted up?
If you have network, can you connect to it?
If dom0 did boot up, then at least we know it's some configuration issue.
Again, I haven't tried on ARM yet, but I'd love to... :-)

Yes, I have network on the board and I have configured the board to get fixed ip from my local 

network but even after waiting sometime I am not able to see any network response from the board.

So I guessed maybe the dom0 is not booting correctly. 

Thanks,

Dushyant
