Hi

I went to this page
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/prologue/hostreqs.html
and it says that LFS instructions are currently for building a 32-bit
system only. Instructions for building 64-bit systems will only come
in a future version of LFS.

I remembered I encountered some difficulties when building a 32-bit
Xen system. PAE support must be enabled. This was mentioned by Pasi.
