Do you want a PVM or HVM? You can't run a non-Xen kernel in a PVM - PVM by definition requires a Xen kernel. If you want to run a non-Xen, i486 kernel you'll have to use full virtualization - HVM.
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?
