Hello,

Xen can be normally installed via the repository packages in VirtualBox. 
So you could be able to install the hypervisor and utils via apt-get:

apt-get install xen-system-amd64

So it could be that you have to change the boot order:

mv -i /etc/grub.d/10_linux /etc/grub.d/50_linux
update-grub2

If you want to build Xen 4.2 from source install the packages which are 
needed to build as mentioned in the Wiki:


apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install bcc bin86 gawk bridge-utils iproute libcurl3
libcurl4-openssl-dev bzip2 module-init-tools transfig tgif
apt-get install texinfo texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended
texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended pciutils-dev mercurial
apt-get install make gcc libc6-dev zlib1g-dev python python-dev python-twisted
libncurses5-dev patch libvncserver-dev libsdl-dev libjpeg62-dev
apt-get install iasl libbz2-dev e2fslibs-dev git-core uuid-dev ocaml
ocaml-findlib libx11-dev bison flex xz-utils libyajl-dev
apt-get install gettext


Download and untar the tarball:

wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.2.0/xen-4.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf xen-4.2.0.tar.gz

Then run the configure script and compile everything, I recommand you 
use the deb target which builds a Debian Package of the distribution 
(you have to install additional packages by your self):

./configure
make deb

The package than is located in the dist directory. Make sure that the 
boot order is changed like mentioned above (the update-grub2 script 
failes because of symlinks which have not the correct format for this 
script, so edit the bootloader config manually or simply delete them 
which should be no problem).

Best Regards

The steps are the same as if you where installing Xen on a baremetal 
machine. The only difference is that you will not have HVM (full 
virtualization) functionality available, only PV (para-virtualization).
(Maybe I''m outdated, btw?)

Any Xen howto shall work.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen is a good start.
