Did you mean the message like the following?

$ ssh r...@xxx 
stdin: is not a tty
   Connection to XXX closed.
$ 

If so, I could confirm the bug.

Apparently, /dev/pts/ somehow doesn't get created in the domU.
As a workaround, the following seems to work:

dom0 $ ssh -v r...@xxx mkdir /dev/pts \&\& invoke-rc.d mountdevsubfs.sh start 

From then on, SSH sessions should become available (until the
next domU shutdown):

dom0 $ ssh r...@xxx 
XXX # 

[...]

I had the image created using xen-tools, maybe it needs to be changed.
My knowledge of Xen is very limited though to suggest them anything.

Please show the config and /etc/inittab of the domain.

Please note that support for console != {hvc0,xvc0} and disk devices !=
xvd* is only legacy.

Bug#504709: Xen console problems

2008-11-06 Thread Baruch Even 
Subject: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64: DomU console problems
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-8
Severity: important

I created a Xen DomU with xen-tools with:
xen-create-image -debootstrap -dir=/home/xen -size=20Gb -memory=512Mb  -fs=ext3 
-cache=yes -dist=lenny -hostname=mapnik -ip 10.0.0.1 -netmask 255.0.0.0 
-gateway 10.0.0.254  -mirror=http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/debian/ 
--role=minimal  --image=sparse

I got a proper disk image and swap image that I can loop mount.

I try to start it with;
xm create -c /etc/xen/mapnik.cfg

It starts to boot and then there are no longer console messages and there is no 
console login. The last message is about the lo driver. I attach the console 
log.

If I try to connect with ssh (using NAT networking) I can connect and after 
loop mounting and setting a root password I can even login but I get an error 
that there is no tty and I cannot do much beyond that. I can however connect 
with ssh to execute commands inside the machine such as ls / and things seem to 
work and booted.
