That's a weird screenshot. How can there be "dropping to a shell" line
on the middle followed by a gPXE line?

Anyway,

The top line shows error inserting xen_platform_pci module. Fix that
first. Not sure why it can happen though, probably some missing config
option. Running "dmesg" on the busybox shell might give more
information about why the module fails to load.

I recommend you start with known working kernel (Natty's
linux-image-server). Once that works, try custom kernel, but start
with the working kernel's config.

For reference, this is a snippet from Natty's config-2.6.38-8-server:

CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y
CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y
CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM=y
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=128
CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE=y
# CONFIG_XEN_DEBUG_FS is not set
CONFIG_PCI_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=m
CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND=y
CONFIG_XENFS=m
CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS=y
CONFIG_XEN_SYS_HYPERVISOR=y
CONFIG_XEN_XENBUS_FRONTEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV=m
CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI=m
CONFIG_SWIOTLB_XEN=y
