I did a reboot and checked the grub.conf. Should have mentioned that.

# egrep 'default|title' /etc/grub.conf
default=0
title CentOS (2.6.18-238.5.1.el5xen)
title CentOS (2.6.18-238.el5xen)

> yum list kernel | grep kernel

yum list kernel | grep kernel
kernel.x86_64                     2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 
  updates

Also if I do "yum info kernel-xen" I get this on server 1:

Name       : kernel-xen
Arch       : x86_64

And this on server 2:
