I've updated /n/sources/xen/xen3 source and sample kernels with a small
mmu correction which was needed for Xen 3.4 (thanks to Peter Bosch for
tracking down the bug). Maybe this will help for your configuration too.
How much physical RAM do you have? I'm not aware of the PAE code having
been tested with more than 4GB. If your machine is bigger, you could
try booting Xen with RAM restricted to, say, 2GB (should be a linux boot
parameter for this) and see if it makes a difference.
