yes, I think so.
I have kernel-3.0.0 compiled and booted as a dom0, also 2.6.38-xen-gentoo.
With both kernels I get the same result.
2.6.38 has a problem with connecting to the inet, so don't be concerned re
errors for that. I rely on 3.0.0 anyway, being more current.
Both manage to make an sdl window.
Now It has two kernels. ie guest kernels.
2.6.38 is configure to boot as hvm with /dev/sda2 as root.
2.6.39 is configured as XenPVonHVM, so it is the kernel of choice for this.
Selecting the 2.6.39 kernel in the grub list of the sdl window yields killing
or xm destroying the vm, it just vanishes the moment the boot touches the
kernel. Selecting the 2.6.38 it just freezes or hangs.
I have used console=tty0 and console=hvc0 on selecting the 2.6.39 kernel.
Makes no diff, just disappears.
Commenting out the selection of vfb entirely allows it to boot in the host
console, xm create -c genpv.cfg.
This yields;
gentoo64 linux # xm create genpv.cfg -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/genpv.cfg".

Selecting the 2.6.39 and editing to console=hvc0, it happily boot.

You ask for kernel dumps. Well here is my best interpretation.
You may need to clarify or specify just how to do so.
xen kernel stuff often does not go to dmesg.
I deleted the xend.log & xend-debug.log on booting into kernel-3.0 so as to
acquire info related only to the attempt to boot in pvgrub.
idella@gentoo64 ~ $ ls -ld /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log
ls: cannot access /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log: No such file or directory
It made no record.
idella@gentoo64 ~ $ ls -ld /var/log/xen/xend.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 6 13:44 /var/log/xen/xend.log
It made the file, no content.
dmesg tail shows a clear citation if i2c, which I don't fully comprehend. A
series of repeated
[ 3153.312154] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.312158] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.315452] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.315455] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.318733] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.318736] i2c i2c-1: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=128
[ 3153.416872] i2c i2c-2: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.416875] i2c i2c-2: master_xfer[1] R, addr=0x50, len=1
[ 3153.420544] i2c i2c-2: NAK from device addr 0x50 msg #0
That is my strongest new clue.
View the couple of attachments from the run in the xen kernel 2.6.38
Feel free to prompt further as to how to execute this desired dump.
Oh this may help a little.

a loading address msg. Just a blank. but in the host console, it does boot the
selected kernel.
