First, a question. Have you ever tried to install RH 6.2 on a modern
Intel CPU?
My guess is it wouldn't work. CPU-wise, Xen will pretty much present
whatever CPU present at dom0 to domU. Meaning if it crashed on a real
machine, it would also crash on a HVM guest.

That being said, I believe the earliest RHEL version certified to run as
HVM guest is RHEL3, and the earliest RHEL version certified to run as PV
guest is 4.5.

Regards,

Fajar
