2.4 kernels only work in either Xen 2.x or fully virtualized, as there's no 
patches to the 2.4 kernel. It would be possible to create 2.4 kernel patches, 
but I think it's very low on the priority list...

In full virtualization (HVM = VT/SVM capable hardware) you can run without any 
recompilation or other changes to the system. Only Xen 3.x support full 
virtualization, and of course, you do need recent hardware to get the necessary 
processor features...
