But i want it the other way around. I want to run a stable 64 bit server
(debian-amd64 stable) with a stable xen (2.0.7) but, 2.0.7
doesn't support 64 bit's. Is there a way i still can use 2.0.7 AND make
use of debian-amd64-stable.

There is another catch (maybe an advantage) I have to recompile it
myself to
change some kernel-config settings and recompile at least the kernels.

Can this be done?

kind regards,
