Sounds like it's running OK but not sending output to the console.

That's fine; on an uniprocessor machine you'll never see a guest in the 
running state because in order for you to run "xm list" dom0 must be running.

If you try adding

extra = "xencons=tty console=tty"

to the domain config file, does that help?

Cheers,
Mark
