Regardless, the original questions were:

During the installation, is the kernel used by guest in para
virtualization mode the one shipped into the guest's media or the one
running on the host machine? Is it the same also after installation?

Given the possibility of language barrier, I tried to make as much sense
out of that as possible.  What I came up with was: RTFM.  The structure
of Xen, how it works, and what the kernels do is explained multiple
times in multiple places in the Xen docs.  It's also all over the net,
easily found by google.  If you don't at least understand the basics,
you haven't done your homework.
