[Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Re: need to compile 32bit on x86_64 cpu

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are using paravirutal Xen (which I believe you are). You "cannot"
use a 32-bit Xen domU kernel with it. You have you use 64-bit Xen domU
kernel with it. I can tell by the path you are using 64bit Xen
"/home/xen/xen-3.0.2-2/dist/install/usr/lib64/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py".
 Best to stick with 32-bit Xen if you want to run 32bit domUs.
