Huh. Interesting. RedHat's SRPM's are a bit more sophisticated than
those for Xensource, traditionally, so I'm not shocked you found a
discrepancy building it for x86_64. Perhaps you can review the
differences in the .spec files and see how RedHat did it?

Solved, the problem was the /usr/lib/xen/hvmloader line was commented in  xen.spec file.   Now I have the xen-3.2.0-0xs rpms.  Now I have a silly question  Should I rebuild the Linux kernel available @ xen.org to get xen 3.2 up or will it work with CentOS kernel?

Hi,

i'm currently using the xen3.2 rpm from xensource (on x86_64 machine, recompiled from the rpms) and the kernel provided from centos (2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen both x86_64 and i386, of course in different VMs :) ).

I've run some "stability" tests and it seems to be ok...
