my experience has been that CentOS/RedHat isn't happy without a
ramdisk. add a
ramdisk=
entry to your xm config file. one way to
get a ramdisk is to install the RHEL4 kernel rpm somewhere; alternately,
mkinitrd in the linux directory of your source also works okay.
you can try the RHEL4 kernels from XenSource if 32-bit is okay;
J. Baron has put out 64-bit kernel RPMS for RHEL4 if you need 64-bit:
http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO
and the kernel RPMs here:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/
Note, read the howto; you need a different modprobe.conf and initrd than
you need for the xensource provided RHEL kernels.
I think redhat is planning on eventually supporting the rhel4 kernels in
DomU mode (Note, this is what I have heard; I'm not a redhat guy)

Opps, my copy didn't work right, sorry:

I also just tried:
disk = ['file:/home/xen/foo/xen/centos.4-4.img,sda1,w']

So you're no longer using the jailtime image? You can't just make
things up and expect them to work....
disk = ['file:/home/foo/root,sda1,w',
'file:/home/foo/swap,sda2,w',
'file:/home/foo/home,sda3,w']
