More than likely your fc6's /etc/inittab doesn't have an agetty started for 
the xen console. I believe for fc6, it will understand /dev/xvc0, and the 
dom0 (fc8) will expect that as the default, so no need to 
add 'extra="console=xvc0"' to your guest's config (altho' extra="xencons=tty" 
wouldn't hurt, for your boot messages). Btw, fc8 uses xen 3.1.x.

Then the end of your fc6 guest's inittab & /etc/securetty should be:

inittab:
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

# Run xdm in runlevel 5

securetty:
xvc0
