I am willing to bet that this is the problem that Sander is having.
Perhaps the documentation should state something along the lines of "if
you have a PAE-enabled *kernel* (whether or not your system has or
supports more than 4 GB RAM), then you need the pae-hypervisor".
Alternatively, if PAE-enabled is now the default for Debian stock
kernels, then perhaps the default Xen packages should be PAE-enabled and
then there could be variants which are suffixed non-pae for people who
roll their own non-PAE kernels.
