this is one aspect in which Xen is fundamentally different from VMWare; so you 
can't say if it's a limitation or a feature :-)

in short: your setup is for a paravirtualized guest, so you need a 
paravirtualized kernel.  if you want to use a 'normal' kernel, you have to 
use "full virtualization" (a.k.a HVM) 

you can say that's a limitation of Xen, or a limitation of VMWare, since it 
only does full virtualization.
