Yes. Unless you have a relatively new cpu which has the hardware virtualization extensions.
The distro I run as the host doesn't have a Xen kernel, but has the Xen software, no?
The "host" must have a xen kernel also because it is a virtual machine as well. All of the operating system instances run under the hypervisor. Actually, there is no concept of a "host" OS with xen. They are all equal except one VM (the first one you start) which is a little more equal because it has privileges to communicate with the hypervisor.
Those two distros can be different?
They can be different distros but must have xen enabled kernels. Preferably the same kernel and same version of xen. Unless you have hardware virtualization.
