Try adding "xencons=ttyS" as well. This'll tell the Xen console to appear as
ttyS. It's probably now appearing as /dev/xvc0 at the moment which may be
why your setup wasn't working anymore.
Alternatively you could do console=/dev/xvc0 directly.
Let me know if this works or if we need to do some further fault finding!
Cheers,
