HVM guests as far as I know don't yet support consoles. You should use
either sdl=1 or vnc=1.
If you use vnc you should make sure that xen-config.sxp has the vnc
options enabled and configured to your liking. You may also need to
manually start the vncviewer to see the guest console. The default
setting when enabled let's you do vncviewer localhost.
