Hi,

* Do i guess right that you mean grub/lilo boot menu?
* Which host OS do you use?
* How did you install OpenVZ? Did you follow the wiki page?
* What stock kernel (from the host OS) works fine?
* Could you please post here /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf (don't know which of them you use)?

Most probably the problem occurs during the kernel boot, so to debug this we have to be able to read the boot logs.
In order to do this you have to setup a serial console:
http://wiki.openvz.org/Remote_console_setup#Serial_console

Unfortunately, i don't know how to save the logs from a serial port in MS Virtual PC (and if it's possible at all), but i know that VMware allows this, so probably, MS Virtual PC also provides this possibility.

If you problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
