No probs with the RPMS.  We occasionally ask people to rebuild stuff to try 
out specific things but that shouldn't be necessary this time.

You'll be using udev, so you need an initrd to create the initial console.

You need to add an "initrd = /boot/whatever" (I forget the exact path but 
it'll probably be somethink like "/boot/initrd-2.6.10-blah-xen").  That 
should sort you out.
