I have xen-3 running on a dual pIII and centos-4.2, since early march. Its been realy stable. I'd suggest visiting Karanbir Singh's centos site as I got lots of good info there when I set my box up. One problem I found so far has been JVM related when I had written some JSP to run w/ Tomcat, the server dies after a while. This didn't happen with xen 2. Anyway here's a link you may find helpfull. http://www.karan.org/blog/index.php/2005/12/06/xen3_on_centos4
Thanks for the link.
After doing some reading, I started to set this up. When it came time to install, there were a few obvious problems:

Crud. Need packages for glibc-2.3.4-2.19.
I installed the xen package and xen-kernel from xen source, but got these errors:

Looks like I can ignore these, but it's not pretty.
I'll have to wait for updated packages to be installed, install from source, or rebuild the xen source glibc source RPM for glibc-2.3.4-.19. I don't want to do a source install, and I already took a look at the source RPM - yikes. I don't want to touch that spec file. Guess I'll have to wait then.
I wonder why xen source has packages for RHEL 4.1, but not anything newer. There have been a lot critical security updates since then.
