Just like the above wiki page says, you can't use usb-serial dongle on the computer running Xen!
(but you can use usb-serial on another computer to log the serial console output).

Xen needs to have access to a real serial port (either physical or virtual SOL (Serial Over LAN)).
So I recommend you to buy a PCI serial card..
