Hi,
It looks like the recent Debian stretch updated kernel doesn't boot
under Xen:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903767>
This also means that right now you cannot self-install Debian
stable.
If you reboot and experience this, you will need to boot back into
the previous kernel. I am investigating now if there is any quick
fix or workaround. In the mean time those affected should follow
that bug to know when it is resolved.
Cheers,
Andy

According to this bug report the kernel in jessie-backports has this
fixed:

Hopefully there'll be another stable kernel release soon.

That should have read stretch-backports of course.
Another workaround, with the current stable (stretch) kernel, is to
boot with pti=off kernel command line parameter.
64-bit PV guests have their PTI protection in the hypervisor anyway,
so the KPTI stuff in the kernel is not being used. It is there where
this bug lies, and pti=off avoids it.
Cheers,
Andy

Looks like a kernel package update with the fix just hit
proposed-updates so I expect the next kernel package update in
stable will have it:
