Backported debian kernel doesn't boot

general

I've followed instructions for running distro provided kernel, and I've successfully booted into 3.2 provided by Wheezy. When I try to boot into backported 3.10 I get this error message:

> root (hd0)

Filesystem type is ext2fs, using whole disk

Looking at the error I'd suggest either the kernel is in an unsupported compression format or doesn't have xen support. The latest Linode kernel is 3.11, is there a reason you're using the stock ones?

file command on both vmiluz files returns 'bzImage' and on both image files returns gzip. Is there a way to more reliably determine if indeed compression is wrong and ways to rectify it.

Reason I'm trying other kernels is because I want lxc and aufs.

(Though on furtherer inspection it seems that 3.2 kernel has what I need, I was under impression that I need 3.8+)
