I just did a howto on compiling Xen 3.2.1 for CentOS5 but then I found this kernel and Xen rpms that you can just download and install.



For x86_64

1. wget http://www.halsign.com/files/TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-x86_64.tar
2. tar -xvpf TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-x86_64.tar
3. cd TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-x86_64/
4. rpm -ivh *.rpm
5. reboot and select new kernel at grub prompt

For i386

1. wget http://www.halsign.com/files/TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-i386.tar
2. tar -xvpf TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-i386.tar
3. cd TurboGate-HTools-1.2-rhel5-i386/
4. rpm -ivh *.rpm
5. reboot and select new kernel at grub prompt

I haven't as of yet used this new kernel and Xen but it might make it a lot easier than compiling Xen 3.2.1 from scratch.
