You *do* realize that in the DomU, as soon as you do "yum update", 
you're effectively switched from CentOS 4.0 to CentOs 4.5, right?
If you have to use your own, install it first as CentOS 4.t and then 
install the RHEL 4.5 kernel, version 3.1 RPM bundled kernel from 
xensource.com, or build and install your own manually inside the 
existing DomU.
