Problem booting Arch xen hypervisor

Hi there,

I've installed Arch Linux and then installed yaourt and package-query and installed the xen package from the AUR. I configured my /etc/xen/grub.conf file as follows:

XEN_HYPERVISOR_CMDLINE="dom0_mem=4096M dom0_vcpus_pin=true iommu=1 xsave=1 splash"
XEN_LINUX_CMDLINE="console=tty0"
#XEN_LINUX_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE=0

My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is as follows:

MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"

Upon booting, it comes up with the following and hangs there:

Loading Xen 4.90 ...
WARNING: no console will be available to OS
Loading Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel ...
Loading Arch Linux pkg-linux kernel initramfs ...

I can boot successfully into normal arch linux, just not the xen hypervisor, with it hanging at the above message. What can I do to successfully boot into the xen hypervisor, preferably with a console? I have enabled ssh in normal Arch linux as well and can establish connections to it, however I can't connect when I get it seemingly freezing on the above message.
