I'm not familiar with rinse or xen-create-image, but here's what I
know when installing RHEL/Centos on Xen:
1) You can use virt-manager (the easy way), or do it manually (like
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU)
2) domU can use xen text console (xvc0 or hvc0), vnc console, or both.
3) If domU is setup using vnc console (like when setup with
virt-manager), text console is usually not used
4) you can always setup text console manually. See
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenCommonProblems, look for
"console"
5) incorrect/incompatible vnc settings can cause domU fail to start.
On some versions of Xen I had to remove "vncunused=0" line to make it
start correctly.
