If you want to run paravirtualized network/block drivers in fully
virtualized (HVM) guest, try these:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-Introduction_to_Para_virtualized_Drivers.html
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-Introduction_to_Para_virtualized_Drivers.html

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2008-June/004797.html

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/xenpv-0.1-9.el5.src.rpm

Other option is to convert the HVM guest to paravirtual domU.
