When you speak about guest, is it the physical computer whith os
acting as hypervisor or "The Virtual Machine Running" ?

Guest --> domU

 

Because grub is not used in "Virtual Machine", but maybe i'm wrong. So
i think you talk about the os w/ hypervisor. right ?

pygrub is used same way as grub do.

I have to write this complete line ?
  -->    console=ttyS0 console=tty0
   or
  --> # xenkopt=console=tty0

What does it mean ? I do not find anything about "console" option in
man menu.lst. Why i have to write this twice, whith different "tty"

Make your kernel line look like as:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda2 console=ttyS0 console=tty0

If i understant well, you attach a virtual console to ttyS0 (serial
line of the physical machine) . How to access this console ?

Mount the domU image file, edit it or access the guest using virtual-manager GUI . If you are using CentOS 5 virt-manager comes by default.

What does it mean too, I did not find anything about this in :  xm and
xmdomain.cfg manual.

it is the config file for you domU typically found at /etx/xen
