No, I'm using the instructions from xen4centos project. Nothing manually.

U mention 2 things:

For centos6 is normal the error, I have to connect to my console using
other methods and see if centos6 dom-u is running, I will let u know.
2nd u mention that we need a module xen-blkfront for centos5 dom-u,
hope the developers read this and fix this asap.

Thanks.
