Hi,

I am running a 64bit Dom0 on CentOS 5.1 and use the stock YUM packages.  All my 
DomUs are 32 bit and they do crash quite often.  The suggestion I received from 
here was either wait till CentOS 5.2 comes out with 3.2 included, or compile 
from source.

I have compiled that source and that was fine, but I am worried about 
installing over the top of the distro packages.

Regards,
