same problem for me: I'd like to run (among other Linux distros)
e.g. RH 7.1, RHEL-3, SUSE 9.0 etc. on a (virtual) build server 
to compile software for those platforms...

so far we've tried to run SUSE 9.0 with xen 2.6.x kernel but nfstools failed to 
work,
so right now I still need "real" machines for those 2.4.x based platforms :-(
