One problem and one question to xen

1.
I can't create a domU. This following error I get. Once it seemed that domU was started because xm list was showing etch03 running but xm console etch03 points to an error and etch03 crashed.

server1:/vd# xm create -c etch03.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/etch03.cfg".
Error: Device 771 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

I'm also not sure if I should use xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz instead of xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz, but xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz boots the dom0 and xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz does'nt. The maschine has only 512 MB RAM so I think its not nessesary to use xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz. Does it makes a big differens to use xen-3.0.3-1-i386-pae.gz instead of xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz if this case?
