You are booting the same kernel, which has PAE support, and which will
only work with PAE hypervisor.
If you want to run non PAE hypervisor, you have to run a kernel built
without PAE support.

Is'nt it a kernel without pae support which I've shown in /boot/grub/menu.lst in the last mail?
...
kernel          /xen-3.0.3-1-i386.gz

sorry, thats the kernel (vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-xen-686) but even there is no hint for pae support. I don't know how to differentiate the kernel with pae support and without.
