I'm using arch/x86/boot/bzImage from pv_ops dom0 kernel tree as dom0 kernel, 
and it works without problems.

Are you using LZMA compression for the kernel? Maybe that's the problem..

Earlier when Xen didn't support bzImage yet, I used "vmlinux" from the top
directory of kernel tree. It's huge, but you can gzip it to make it a bit
smaller.

Xen 3.4.x supports bzImage dom0 kernels.

Read "dmesg" and X log.
