Did you start a getty program in your guest for virtio console?

    kvm tools: Virtio console support
    
    This patch adds simple virtio console support to the hypervisor.
    
    NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: Please add something like this to your /etc/inittab file:
    
        T2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L hvc0 9600 vt100
    
    to get a virtio console login.
