Thank you, Igor!
Really... you are correctly.

But... I've installed one new ParaVirtual domain, only to test, and I
can't console it.

I've a lot of changes, like:

Host: (DomO)
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 com2=115200, 8n1
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
rhgb quiet console=tty console=ttyS1115200
        module /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen.img


Guest: (DomU)
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 
console=ttyS0 console=tty0
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen.img

[root@xenserver04 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
Kernel \r on an \m

[root@xenserver04 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-3.0.3-41.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-41.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.4.el5

When I create the machine, I can see the grub, but after this I lost my
connection, only can get using 'ssh' after boot.

Any ideas?

Ok... I'll try to get console on ParaVirt first :)

[root@xenserver04 ~]# cat /etc/xen/xen04_rh5_01
# Automatically generated xen config file
name = "xen04_rh5_01"
memory = "1000"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/xen04_vm02,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:2a:b6:5f, bridge=xenbr0', ]
vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"]
uuid = "f6e74bad-7cbb-2af2-8e63-8f3e6b1628fb"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=1
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
extra = 'xencons=tty'
