The guest does not use the kernel from the guest filesystem. It uses the
vmlinuz-2.?.??-xenU kernel from dom0 file system but it uses the modules
from its own file system so you need to copy
the /lib/modules/kernel-version modules that are supplied in the xen
binary package or that you complied, to the guest filesystem.

Hope I don't confuse things more :-)
