I just changed the installation method of CentOS by using a utility
called rinse .To my wonder it started
xen-create-image --hostname centos5_domU --ip 192.168.1.50
--install-method rinse  --force --dist centos-5 --arch=amd64

when I tried to boot xm create -c /etc/xen/centos5_domU.cfg
showed me an error message

missing destination file operand after `initrd-xen-install.img'

I had downloaded the files from here
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/images/xen/initrd.img
I finally renamed to the initrd to initrd-xen-install.img
then did
xm create -c centos5_domu5.cfg

I am able to see a CentOS welcome screen
an image of which I have uploaded here
I am not able to understand how now to select the installation things
like English et
I have done in past text based installations.Selecting space it had
not selected the
English on screen.
The snapshot you can see here.

and here

I have no clue as how to proceed and post installation.
Please see now it the discussion had been fruitful till here.
