to do a normal install?

If your host CPU is 32-bit then there's no way of running a 64-bit guest using Xen - sorry. You could try Qemu (http://www.qemu.org) which is a full emulator and thus might be able to do what you want
I have tried to install 64-bit Debian Etch on 32-bit Ubuntu with qemu, accidentally at home with no success. I got the error about I can't do that.
