I've been looking for a solution that doesn't involve dual booting, or
chrooting things to get my x86 domU to work.  I have a Debian xen
server on an amd64 platform.  It would seem that I should be able to
also install or force the install of a non-xen i486 kernel.  When I
recieved this server it had a manufacturer's install of Etch with an
i486 kernel.  Once I have both kernels installed in dom0, can't I just
boot the server off the xen-amd64 kernel, and build a para-virtualized
 debian domU, referencing the i486 kernel in /boot ?

Not sure the best way to go about it and any tips are appreciated!
Thanks,
Marshall
