No. It is b/c you don't have the hypervisor (xen.gz) in your grub2 file.
Did you install the xen toolstack?

You didn't actually boot Xen though, your log contains:

Mar 16 04:36:15 xen kernel: [ 0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware

I wonder if this is because your grub stanza contains
multiboot ....xen....
linux ....vmlinuz....
initrd ....initrd....
and the "linux" statement (which means boot a native Linux kernel) takes
precedence over the "multiboot" statement (which means boot a multiboot
kernel, possibly with a series of extra modules).

I think you probably need to use something of this form instead:
multiboot ....xen....
module ....vmlinuz....
module ...initrd....

IOW your mistake is that the "linux" statement does not add extra
modules to a "multiboot" kernel -- it is a top level kernel loader
command thing in its own right. "module" is the correct syntax for
adding additional multiboot modules.

Hi Ian,

My bad. Correcting the grub entry did the trick. Thanks.
