Hi,

I tried to start a 32Bit PVM system on a 64Bit dom0, and got the following 
error:
Using config file "./VM1".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_compat_check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32 
not supported by xen kernel, sorry\n')

and it just did not started. Is ist just because of the different 32/64Bit 
of domU and dom0? The xen in the dom0 is configured to be backward 
compatible. The dom0 is a xen 3.1.0, the domU is a xen 3.0.3.

When this is just not working, then I have to run the dom0 in 32Bit. Do I 
can then assign 4GB RAM to each domU, or will the dom0 be unable to handle 
that amount of memory? I assume I need a PAE enabled Xen kernel for the 
dom0? But will I need such a kernel then for the domU's too?

kind regards
Sebastian
