you saw the line 

[    0.260440] Xen virtual console successfully installed as xvc0

in dmesg?  

that means you need to run a getty on xvc0.     On CentOS/RHEL, you'd do
this in /etc/inittab.   I'm not sure about debian.  

(it's a tricky problem 'cause there are several different things that different
kernels call the xen virtual console;  so when I get this problem, the 
first thing I do is grep for 'Xen virtual console' in the DomU dmesg so
I know what to run a getty on.)
