Is it PV or HVM guest?
For HVM guest, you need to enable serial port on domU config file
(example here: http://pastebin.com/fb6fe631), and setup domU to use
serial port (ttyS0 on Linux) by modifying (for Linux domU)
/boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/inittab, and /etc/securetty.

If it's PV guest, you need to set up domU to use xen console (which is
xvc0 on current xen version, hvc0 on pv_ops kernel). It's similar to
setting up domU for serial console, you just need to change ttyS0 to
hvc0. An example of domU setup that can use both xvc0 and vnc console
is here : http://pastebin.com/f6a5022bf
