Error that we are getting is "guest type xen-3.0-x86_32 not supported by
xen kernel"


If you have noticed above in the output of xm info
xen_caps               : xen-3.0-x86_32p
Does this "p" in xen-3.0-x86_32p stands for PAE ?

Should there be an explicit mention of xen-3.0-x86_32 in xen_caps ?
If yes , what determines the type of supported guests ?


Thanks,
Sanket
