you do not run the Proxmox VE kernel, you have a Debian Kernel (2.6.32-5-amd64).
 
best was is to install from our iso image which you did not.

adapt your boot manager (grub2) to boot the proxmox kernel.

I installed Proxmox VE 2.0 from provision server of my hosting service. I'm a newbie with Proxmox.

Could you help me how to boot from proxmox kernel? Thanks a lot,
 
I suggest you ask the hosting provider as we do not know how they install the system.
