You didn't actually boot Xen though, your log contains:

Mar 16 04:36:15 xen kernel: [    0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware

I wonder if this is because your grub stanza contains
	multiboot ....xen....
	linux ....vmlinuz....
	initrd ....initrd....
and the "linux" statement (which means boot a native Linux kernel) takes
precedence over the "multiboot" statement (which means boot a multiboot
kernel, possibly with a series of extra modules).

I think you probably need to use something of this form instead:
	multiboot ....xen....
	module ....vmlinuz....
	module ...initrd....

IOW your mistake is that the "linux" statement does not add extra
modules to a "multiboot" kernel -- it is a top level kernel loader
command thing in its own right. "module" is the correct syntax for
adding additional multiboot modules.
