Red Hat / Centos 5.4 works on a HP DL385 G6 just out of the box. (Both
standard and xen kernels.) I have one here, working fine, but with
distro's kernel + hypervisor, not the latest versions of them.

I'm quite sure that kernel versions older than 2.6.28 doesn't have the
proper driver for disk controllers shipped with HP G6 servers. ( It
works with 2.6.18 on Red Hat because they backport a bunch of things
in order to support major vendors' hardware.

With Debian Lenny, I had to use a custom installation image
(customized by a guy called K-Muto)  with newer kernel (>=2.6.28)
backported from testing/unstable. But in that case I'm not running Xen
and I don't know how would I do that. (There aren't backported
packages for Xen on Debian.)
