Well,
it doesn't seem to be that easy because I can't boot any of the guests. No matter whether HVM or PV.

For PV it's connected with the hotplugging:

# xm create rhel5-32pv
Using config file "./rhel5-32pv".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

For PV guests there was a change of blktap to blktap2. Couldn't this be related? How could I check I'm using the blktap2 ? Also, my test machine is Intel Xeon X5460 @ 3.16 Ghz, quad-core with 8 GiB RAM running on RHEL-5 with upstream 4.1 xen.
