Use UPDATEDEFAULT to say you don't want to, afaik


When UPDATEDEFAULT=yes the default boot selection in
/boot/grub/menu.lst will be set to point to the newly installed
kernel. If you are dual booting and want a different OS or a
particular kernel to be the default then set UPDATEDEFAULT=no so that
kernel updates will not change your boot selection.

Also, I wouldn't run Xen without PAE enabled. Even the Debian folk have
stopped packaging it that way. It looks like Xen won't be running on
that kind of machines any longer
