I'm looking at a CentOS 5 Xen server that I'd really like to put some more recent VM's. There are reasons not to touch it at the moment, so I can't upgrade it in place today.

Has anyone successfully installed a CentOS 6 VM, paravirtualized, on a CentOS 5 Xen server , without significant Xen upgrades? If so, can I get a copy from a reputable source, or one that I can review before using? I'm having a bit of difficulty arranging a PXE enironment to do a paraviirtualized installation with, and there are apparently difficulties doing a paravirtualzed system with CD or DVD installation with Xen.

Yep, CentOS 6 VMs run just fine on CentOS 5 Xen host.
