Hi,
Previously it was noted that kernels compressed with XZ are not
supported:

As far as I am ware this only affected people trying to run Debian
jessie (testing) since that was the only distribution I know of that
switched to XZ for kernel compression.
I have now added support for XZ compression and it has been tested a
little by myself and a few other customers, so it should now be
working. If you are doing a dist-upgrade from wheezy then it may
still be wise to keep the wheezy kernel around in case of problems.
Also Debian jessie seems to work now as a net install; previously it
was missing a netboot Xen installer and the XZ kernel support also.
Please bear in mind that Debian jessie is an unreleased testing
branch and may break at any time for reasons beyond our control. I
would be interested to know if it is broken at any time, but can't
promise speedy fix.
Cheers,
Andy
