Ah, guess this is caused by console_to_ring boot option.

Better check you are not missing info from the Xen ring buffer.
It should start with the Xen version like this:

# xl dmesg | head
(XEN) Xen version 4.4.1 (Debian 4.4.1-9+deb8u9) (ijackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc (Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2) debug=n Mon May 8 16:01:37 UTC 2017
(XEN) Bootloader: GRUB 2.02~beta2-22+deb8u1
(XEN) Command line: placeholder dom0_mem=2048M com2=115200,8n1 console=com2,vga
(XEN) Video information:
