This doesn't enable PAE and therefore cannot support Xen pv operation.

In Debian the 32-bit kernel flavour with Xen support is '686-pae', so
config.i386_none_686-pae.xz should be the starting point.

You should be able to just use the existing linux-image.*-686-pae
package, unless you have a reason to build it yourself?

This might involve enabling multiarch to be able to install the i386
kernels on your 64-bit host. Or you can install it inside the guest
along with the pv-menu-list package and use pygrub or pvgrub to boot
from the guest filesystem.

Ian.
