Following the instructions at: http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/RHEL6Xen4Tutorial 
and after two weeks of hard work trying to get Xen v4.x to work properly on my 
"i686 arch" server, I found out that it is not possible. As of today, August 
31st, 2011, you will never be able to create a DomU on a i686 arch system. The 
entire Xen system v4.x is designed for one single arch: x86_64.

 

I thought of posting this message to serve as an alert for those who might try 
to install Xen v4.x on a i686 server. Just in case, if you were able to get Xen 
v4.x working properly and creating DomUs successfully, please share your 
experience. How?
