That has been working brilliantly on amd64, but when I tried to
reproduce it on i386 (trying to boot a linux-2.6.26-xen-686 from Debian
on a NetBSD-5 Dom0), I got the following error message:

"Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_compat_check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32p 
not supported by xen kernel, sorry')"

Does "-x86_32p" mean that the DomU kernel is for PAE platform (which
mine isn't) ? Is it possible to find an appropriate Linux DomU kernel
for the combo i386 non-PAE + xen-3.1.4 ? Maybe do I need to go back to
Xen-2.0 ?

Thanks for your interest in my question.
