Just a few notes from clusteradm@ about this. I've been running a CentOS 5 machine with xen3 pretty successfully with PV 32 bit and 64 bit HVM vms for a while now. I install CentOS 5 and then go to the gitco repo here: http://www.gitco.de/repo/ Pretty straight forward stuff. I install the VMs in full HVM mode using VNC redirection and then switch them over to PV or HVM mode and setup serial consoles. If you have any questions, let me know. I can dump some of the configurations to help you out if you wish.
