It's amazing how anyone can pull it off! :-) wget http://www.gitco.de/linux/x86_64/centos/5/CentOS-GITCO.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/gitco.repo yum groupinstall Virtualization Or you could just put in an XCP install disk and take a nap. You'd have the very stable RHEL 5.5 base for Dom0, Xen 3.4.2 and a kernel roughly equivalent to what you get in RHEL6. For the record RHEL6 guests run on Xen as will any future Linux Distros.
