As I read the first email, I was planning on asking if you can connect via
remote.

Before playing around with the kernel config further, I don't use
XenServer, but use the xen-stuff in portage instead. (My host runs Gentoo
as well)
In the configuration, I add the following to the kernel-parameters:
" xencons=tty "
Maybe a similar option will help you as well.
Otherwise, you could try checking the input-devices. Especially things
like keyboard/usb/hid/ps/...
Also, if you have further difficulty, the xen-users list might be a better
port of call as there are plenty of people there who use XenServer.
