That didn't work.  It makes no sense that I would have to have a copy of
that kernel locally does it?  I thought that xen would look at the
configuration, the /etc/fstab on the CentOS system and try to load the
kernel from there.  After all, that's where install put it.  So xm isn't
finding it. Why?
That's what I thought too but the kernel actually goes on the dom0 system, the kernel MODULES need to be copied to the guest. It makes sense if you think about it, xen can't boot a kernel it can't see.
