"RH EL 5 = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
HP will issue a customer advisory for RH EL 5 Xen. HP has certified and will 
support these servers listed below with the following caveats:

    * No HP management agent support
    * Greater than 64 GB system memory requires an updated kernel. Click here 
for more information
    * Guest OS support is provided by Red Hat. For more information on 
supported guest OS's, see: www.redhat.com "
