I installed Debian sarge amd64 on a Intel em64t processor machines and have been using the Xen 3.0 packages in backports.org.
I can boot a 32 bit guest OS fine if I use the vmlinuz-2.6.16-1-xen-em64t-p4 kernel, but when trying to use the stock
vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen from their binary tarball, or building it from the source package I get the following error:


xentest:/var/log# xm create debian0.cfg  -c                              
Using config file "/etc/xen/debian0.cfg".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')


xentest:/var/log# cat xend-debug.log
ERROR: Kernel not a Xen-compatible Elf image.
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS


Is it not possible to have a x86_64 dom0 run a 32 bit domU kernel?
