Thanks you all guys. I am able to create the RHEL5 PVM on RHEL5
host successfully. Only thing that i need to add is /mnt/etc/fstab in
inintrd command and preload to both the fronthend drivers.
As blow.
# mount /home/disk /mnt
# mkinirtd /boot//boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.el5xenU.img 2.6.18-8.el5xen --fstab /mnt/
etc/fstab --with xenblk --with xennet --preload xenblk --preload xennet
Thanks a lot,
Trilok

That's correct, but you DO need a "blkfront" driver, as that's the way
that the guest is reading the "hard-disk" via Dom0. And you DON'T need
one of those for Dom0, since Dom0 has access to the real hardware.
