I ended up trying a fresh Linux install in dom0, including mkfs()'ing the
filesystem. So all traces of the previous Xen should be gone in dom0. I
rebuilt Xen from scratch and installed it in this new filesystem. All
problems I saw before were gone, except for the console problem.

I've done it in two ways: log into dom0 on the physical console, then use
"xm create -c" to create the domU and watch it. The other way was to ssh
(from a Windows box, using PuTTy) into dom0 and then use "xm create -c"
again. Ending the initial domU console session and reattaching using "xm
console" gives the same result.

Since I seem the only one having this problem it must be something I'm doing
wrong. I guess it's time for me to dig into xend.
