The problem seems to be that grub2 wants to boot the machine into a regular
linux kernel, and not the xen hypervisor.

There is a workaround at 
  http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#XenonTesting.2BAC8-SqueezeandonUnstable.2BAC8-SidasDom0.2CtocreateamultitudeofDomU.27s    

In short it is 
  mv -i /etc/grub.d/10_linux /etc/grub.d/50_linux
  update-grub2

This makes it prefer the hypervisor.

Another way is to
  apt-get remove --purge grub2 grub-pc
  apt-get autoremove
  apt-get install grub-legacy
  grub-install
  update-grub

and reboot - not before you have done all the steps above!
