I had a issue recently with a win2k WM crashing after upgrade to XCP1.6. 
There has been an issue with win2k win2k3 vms that is explained in the 
post below (long post).
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=314477&start=105&tstart=0

Summary :
* For win2k3 and above vms, upgrade p2v drivers.
* For win2k vms, short workaround is to have only one vcpus in the VM. 
(indeed, the new driver does not want to install on win2k per 
citrix/windows EOL policy). If you definitly need more than one vcpus in 
your win2k vm, you'll have to tweak a little more I guess.
If you still want to recompile, you have to install kernel headers from 
source iso, enable centos repo, install build tools and compile your 
driver. But I'd recommend to give one more try to XCP 1.6.
Cheers,

Denis
