probably because of this

Had you read the link I set you thoroughly, you'd have seen my
suggestion on that thread. This message in particular should answer
your question

http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-xm-console-hanging-p22909793.html

It seems that you can replace "xvc0" with "console" and get the same
result (at least on Centos).
In Ian's case, he prefer to add "xencons=tty" (which worked for him),
while in your case editing xencons didn't work. Probably
distro-specific issue (suse vs RHEL/Centos).

Fajar
