You should really be using hvc0 for the console.  I think ttyS0
"passthrough"/emulation should work, but using the Xen console is more
reliable.  And you're just losing all console output on the switchover,
which suggests that serial isn't actually working.  Failing that, can
you get more info from the VGA console?

Aside from that, I'm not sure what's going on.  I don't normally see
messages from Xen about PCI devices.  Are you using MSI?  Does booting
with pci=nomsi work?

Thanks,
    J
