OK, So, I took a quick peek at what your likely options are (consider I haven't actually tried to troubleshoot early boot issues like you're describing) Specifically in virtualization managed by virt-manager
First, The freedesktop article describes being able to point to a Text Console. I haven't yet found out how to configure that option, the default as always is a VNC graphical console and the option to point to a Serial Console is greyed out. In fact, although I tried adding serial outputs to the Guest Config, no matter what type of serial output I chose the output to text console remains greyed out (although seems to recognize the serial connection). But, there are some other interesting serial output options... If you don't need an interactive console, it looks like there is an option to output to file, so you should be able to capture your debug information in a file without actually deploying a getty.
