Yes, so we should fix it.

In which case I think you need to remove "quiet" from your command line
and add "debug" instead and ensure your console= line is correct. You
could also try using the earlyprintk option to see if that produces more
output.
Do you get any output on the hypervisor console ("xl dmesg" or "xm
dmesg" depending on toolstack).
