You don't load a Linux kernel for windows in an hvm environment. You
need to build xen with hvm support, have an VT enabled processor, and
use a hvm config. see the example xen config files. And you can search
the list archives and the wiki for "hvm" which is the term under
which, since a while, xen does the hardware virtualization stuff,
which you need to run unmodified windows.
