I had the console problem similar to this one.
look carefully in /etc/events.d/*
Also run ps ax | grep getty
Get SSH in the guest, and SSH in if necessary.
There is a mismatch here of the tty that you are passing your guest and
what is being run, you may even have multiple ttys that are being spawned.
I ran into something somewhat similar, here is my setup:
http://xen.markmail.org/search/?q=Todd%20Deshane%20hvc#query:Todd%20Deshane%20hvc%20from%3A%22Todd%20Deshane%22+page:1+mid:cdp2zdxzjdnsploh+state:results
But also watch carefully in /etc/event.d/* for strange/extra entries
with hvc* in them.
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Todd
