This interpretation does not seem to be correct if you are using the 
kerne-xen shipped with RHEL5 distribution. RHEL kernel-xen is pae 
enabled only supports pae guests and you can't run non-pae kernels on 
guests. If this is the case, can we have more details from your system?
If you have compiled the dom0 kernel from upstream source, this may be 
correct and u need to re-compile it with pae support.
