So it fails to connect to the xenstored. Please start it by hand and
show why it dies.

You have no 3.0.3 hypervisor installed, this is the only version
supported by the kernel versions 2.6.18-5 and above. It is likely to
simply break with other versions.

I think, you want to install xen-linux-system-*.
