This is what's defined in /etc/default/grub following the install of the Xen:

I didn't set these myself, this is what the xen package (or one of its dependencies) is doing.
It's the CentOS Xen package setting this. But the Xen option "console=com1,tty" should make it such that Xen sends its output *both* to the serial line, *and* the monitor.
I take it you're not seeing any Xen output at all on your IPMI console?

The boot messages are suppressed, but if it boots successfully the login prompt shows up. If I remove console=hvc0 both the boot messages and login prompt show up.
Note: the IPMI console I'm looking at is just the local monitor being redirected. It isn't a special device/driver.
I'll try what Konrad is suggesting, setting this:
console=hvc0 console=tty
And will see what happens. It'll be a few hours until I can try it out.
Thank you to every one that has responded, I appreciate the help.
