Cause I want to use it on a kickstart file, but someone on the kickstart 
list just showed me how to install those rpm's from the kickstart file, 
so I'll try that and see what hapens.

Do I still use the xen-2.6.18-53 kernel? 
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64.rpm 
<http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64.rpm>

What do you mean I need to rename it in the grub menu? What happens if I 
don't?
