Often in this case, it is a matter of the guest console not showing up.

Try adding:

extra='xencons=tty'

To your guest config.


If that doesn't work, there are a few other things to try on the guest
kernel line that might work. You could search on xen.markmail.org
and/or mount the file system and check the /etc/init* and the getty
setup in the centOS guest.
