True. This is why the 32-bit dom0 it only works with
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae (with xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386 will
panic at boot) and the package is simply useless.

I think the only reason to mix a 64-bit dom0 with a 32-bit domU is the
lack of a 64-bit domU in lenny. I hope I won't have to do that since I
have the option of using the -openvz flavour (and maybe -vserver but
these images seem to be disabled in 2.6.26).

Thanks
