Hello,
I posted a question over at xenproject.org but it was recommended that I send out a message here for help.
My post there: http://www.xenproject.org/help/questions-and-answers/vanilla-pv-centos-guest...
The TL;DR is: Everything I've found to kickstart a new vanilla rhel/centos guest points to specifying a kernel & and initrd- for RHEL/Centos 5. But where is the xen initrd for Centos 6? The Xen4Quickstart instructions are awesome, but after install you are left with a kernel and an initramfs & no initrd for a centos 6 guest in xen.
So is there a better way to kickstart a fresh/vanilla VM post Xen4Quickstart instructions? Shall I build an initrd from the initramfs (and how) or is there another way?
Apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, but if it is I have yet to find it and I've been looking around for some time.
I've found this helpful:

A couple of changes you have to make though: you have to take out the "bootloader=pygrub" line in his config file.
But we probably should have something like that on the wiki page -- thanks for asking about it. :-)
