Hello Nikola,
I suppose that you try to run non Xenified kernel
in PV domain. Of course this is impossible.
You must use Xenified kernel in the domain 0 as well as in U domains.

May be I'm wrong and you use xenified kernel, then, make sure, that your kernels
for dom0 and domU, both are PAE enabled
(or both are non-PAE).

You can not run PV domain with PAE kernel
on PAE host (or vice versa).

If it will not help, please show your config files.


This is all my Debian setup:
