Yes, it's possible so long as the 32-bit guest uses PAE.

Where did you get the vmlinux and initrd described above from?  Also, it's 
kinda weird to specify both kernel/ramdisk= and a bootloader=...  Are you 
intending to use those specific kernels from dom0 or are you trying to bot 
via pygrub...

Are there any clues in /var/log/xen/xend.log or /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log?  
I'd guess not, but it might be worth a check ;-)

Finally, if you are using pygrub do check that you're booting the *right* 
kernel image from your guest.  Start the guest with "xm create -c" so you get 
the console.  When the pygrub screen comes up, make sure you select the 
Xen-aware kernel before booting!

Finally, if you can't get PV to work, if you have HVM-capable hardware you 
could probably just fully virtualise this machine.

Cheers,
Mark
