I am already running a Ubuntu server cloud on a VT machine using KVM.
My purpose of this experiment is to create a cloud  on a non VT
hardware so using Xen.
But the above errors are getting a bit difficult to trace.
Let me know if I any one has some suggestions here.As why can I not
create PV guests
from ISO of 32 bit lucid on a host which is also lucid 64 bit.
To have a 64 bit guest on 64 bit host VT is must but here I am trying
to create 32 bit guest on 64 bit host and that too
a PV guest.
