Actually, let me re-phrase the question.  The server is now running
xen from ubuntu hardy heron.  so the kernel and version of xen are
recent.  What is the straight forward way to get my 32bit PVM running?

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

To run a non-Xen kernel, you'll need to run the VM under HVM.

Simply install a 32bit Xen kernel on the PVM.
