Add
extra = 'xencons=tty'
to the config file for your DomU. I. e. make it look similar to

[...]
#
#  Kernel + memory size
#
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-xen'
memory      = '128'
extra       = 'xencons=tty'

#
#  Disk device(s).
[...]

Maybe this helps.
