When I use yum to install xen 3.2.0 and xen-libs it also pulls in then centos 
kernel-xen?
I thought the srpm contained the kernel and its related files and just needed 
deps like
bridge utils etc?

To get this running, I changed the grub stanza kernel-xen creates to have the 
kernel point to
xen.gz-3.2 instead of xen.gz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 (from kernel-xen) and one of 
the module lines
to point to my custom initrd for pciback loading. That leaves the other module 
line kernel-xen
wrote for vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen intact.

Why does kernel-xen get pulled in and what's the significance of the vmlinuz 
line when using the
xen.gz-3.2 kernel provided by the 3.2.0 rpm? Is it not needed?

Thanks!
