libvirt enables you to run that stuff side by side.
I don't know the answer about the rpms, I just have done it on fedora core 8 before. I presume you could find out quicker than my by looking for it first if it is installed:
rpm -q qemu
if not, try to install it with yum
yum install qemu

fyi: paravirtualized means the OS is new enough to have extensions to be virtualization-aware and support it in order to not have to emulate all of the hardware completely. The older OS would probably run fully virtualized, i.e. in a QEMU environment.
Ahm, yes, sorry, that is why I wanted to try to run it fully virtualized. I made a typo and skipped the "not" in "this probably would run paravirtualized". Yes, I'm sure it won't run paravirtualized.
AFAIK Xen can also install and run fully virtualized guests. The problem is that install location. (maybe there are others, but this at least is the one I'm facing now).
Qemu: I haven't ever used it. Would you recommend using it in this case? Can I run that side-by-side with Xen? Are the rpms part of CentOS?
