Right. Grub2 needs to grep kernel config to determine whether that
kernel is Xen-capable (which is pure madness IMHO) -- see
/etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen.

Check if you have
/dev/xen/{privcmd,evtchn,gntdev,xenbus,xenbus_backend,gntalloc}.

My suggestion would be that you have all Xen drivers compiled in, not as
modules.
