You need to be running a Xen-enabled kernel in the guest...  You are 
presumably already running one for dom0, so you should just use that.  It'll 
be in /boot, likely with the extension -xen.

It won't run directly on Xen because it's not ported for Xen.  If you have 
VT/Pacifica hardware you could run it under full virtualisation.  
Alternatively, you could try and persuade it to run on a newer kernel...
