Ok, let's debug that further. Once the VM have booted, can you check the
state of the network interface by running the following command?

ip link
brctl show

That expected, unfortunatly, there are bugs which are been fixed in later
version of libvirt, from libvirt 1.2.15.
What we are using for the Xen Project CI loop can be found at this address:
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/OpenStack_CI_Loop_for_Xen-Libvirt#Baseline

But you can access the console through other mean, via libvirt.

Start virsh, find the running instance and connect to it:
(There are two prompts, shell prompt and virsh prompt)

sh$ virsh -c xen:
virsh# list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 193   instance-0000008e              running
virsh# console instance-0000008e
// here will be the console of the VM
// to quit, ctr+]

Yes, all in one. I've enable those neutron services via devstack:
q-agt q-dhcp q-lbaas q-meta q-metering q-svc q-vpn q-l3 q-fwaas
