the xml file of my machines (all of them actually) have the below in the 'console' section.

    ...
    <console type='pty'>
      <target type='serial' port='0'/>
    </console>
    ...

Is it this has to be adjusted in order to 'properly set up the console' ?
any pointers what to put here? tried 'bash' for 'type' but that didn't work

This is fine, there is no need to do anything here.  As I said, the only
thing you need to do is convince the guest kernel to use that ttyS0 as a
console (by appending console=ttyS0 as a kernel cmdline parameter).
Details on how to do that are explained in my previous mail.

Also, there is no need to guess parts of the configuration, we have a
documentation for the XML [1], as well as bunch of other things [2] and
working man pages.
