Thanks

Do you have 'console=hvc0' on the kernel command line?

Yep, I do indeed (Came like that from Stacklet). Should I remove this? What does it do?

Nope, leave it, just checking it was there. 

Also, check for /etc/init.hvc0.conf, if it doesn't exist copy one of the other tty*.conf files and modify it to use hvc0.

I don't have that file, but I do have /etc/init/hvc0.conf which looks like this:

Typo, sorry, this is correct.

 

# hvc0 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on hvc0 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 hvc0

Where is your domU kernel from? 

Check /var/log/xen/* on the dom0 for other clues.
