Yes, I removed the silly artificial dependency with libvirt that
RH created, because 3.2 no longer needs libvirt to properly function.
It will work with libvirt though.
Are you trying to run a 32-bit dom0 with a 64-bit hypervisor?
You're doing it the "poor-man's method" where you run a 64-bit Xen,
64-bit dom0 and 32-bit userland aren't you?
Technically though one should be able to install the full 32-bit
OS, kernel and userland, and then copy the 64-bit /boot/xen.gz
and boot that up.
It works with 3.1, but 3.2 complains about not enough memory and
panics. Probably to do with PAE/non-PAE or some other compile
time option.

It does with 3.2.
