I wanted to install Xen on 32bit processor with 8GB RAM. I am running Debian on it. The general Kernel can only address ~4GB of RAM. So, Is it necessary to install BigMEM kernel so that all the memory get addressed? And then install xen kernel.

Or ?? Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
gorkhe

You need PAE kernels: I assume for Debian, these are called bigmem kernels. You can install them in any order, you'll just need to do setting up of grub and reboots to activate the new kernels.
