tty1, 2 (and so on) are virtual console on frame buffer/VGA-like display.

You domU config does not include virtual frame buffer (vfb). If it has
that, and your domU kernel supports it (either builtin, or have the
module loaded), you can have tty1 working correctly, accessible using
vnc. domU configuration example:

vfb=['vnc=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0']

while the particular entry on kernel's config should be

CONFIG_XEN_FRAMEBUFFER=y
CONFIG_XEN_KEYBOARD=y

Since you don't have entry for /dev/console on inittab, I'm guessing
the extra="console=hvc0 xencons=tty" config line is not used with
regards to displaying login prompt.
