The xen kernels may need special attention because they have some kABI
tracking-related issues.  I see you are subscribed to the ELRepo
mailing list. Can we take this thread there?  This is because the
subject is now about the elrepo packages and not all ELRepo admins are
reading this CentOS mailing list.

By the way, if you are planning to install Windows XP as a guest (as
you indicated in the original post), I would suggest VirtualBox or
VMware.
