This almost always means that you are not running a getty on the console.
The box is booting fine, it just isn't running a getty on the console
you are looking at, so it looks like
The same problem on a CentOS5.1 DomU  is fixed by adding the following line to
/etc/inittab

2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty xvc0

look through your /etc/inittabl and find the getty line, and make sure one is running on tty1

Though the console on my debian DomUs all look like they are tty1 so

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 is the important getty line for my debian DomUs.
So yeah... poke around and try to figure out what device it thinks is console
and then run a proper getty on that device.
(Note, if you want to login as root on that device, also add the devicename
to /etc/securettys)
I want to describe it a little more. It's not just one DomU.
The problem is with every Debian System as DomU.

They work perfect on a Xen 3.1.0 with a 2.6.18-8 kernel compiled on my old motherboard. Not one problem. But i try to figure out how to upgrade to a newer hardware, and this hardware needs a 2.6.24 kernel (intel ich9 chipset) to work. I also switched to a 64-Bit Distribution of Debian / Ubuntu
to get the 8gbyte RAM directly into Dom0.

My inittab looks like:
...
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty
...

The problem is before the console loads up, or while.
when i "xm console <domain>" i can't press enter or any key.

It won't be recognized.
At startup the last message is like "starting cron..." and then... hang up.
shutdown works, but nothing else.

Thanks in advance,
Amin
