I installed CentOS6 with the xen4centos set of packages; then I tried to install KVM (for performance comparison), I got the following error in YUM:

I manually downloaded the gpxe package and installed it with no problems, so there are no actual conflicts in the files. Thus, ipxe probably *shouldn't* obsolete gpxe -- there are no conflicts between the two, and ipxe doesn't provide what gpxe does.
If I had already installed KVM, and was toying with the idea of giving Xen a spin, this may have been enough to deter me.
I checked with the XenServer guys, and their version of ipxe doesn't obsolete gpxe; so that must have been something that was introduced in CentOS.

OK, the repo here has ipxe that will install with qemu-kvm.
NOTE: The seabios in the xen repo is much newer than the one in CentOS-6 .. so we need to test this and make sure xen and kvm still work before rolling into production repo .. here is the testing repo:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6-RC1/
Lets get this tested and results posted on this list.
At least updating from xen-4.2.4-29.el6 to xen-4.2.4-30.el6 went smoothly :)

Has anyone tested these RPMs to see if they work with KVM and xen installed, etc.?
This still doesn't work for me:
