You might wait too long.

1.Download Mercurial 0.9.5 from
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/Mercurial
to /tmp
# cd /tmp; tar -zxvf mercurial_0.9.5.tar.gz
# cd mercurial_0.9.5
# make local
# export PATH=/tmp/mercurial_0.9.5:$PATH
# cd /usr/src/
# hg clone
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg

# cd xen-3.2-testing.hg
# make world
# make install

Determine the name of the Xen Linux kernel version
that was installed.

# ls /lib/modules

There should be a directory for the Xen Linux kernel
(e.g., 2.6.18.8-xen)
Generate the module dependency list and map files

# /sbin/depmod 2.6.18.8-xen

Create the Xen initial ramdisk image

# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img  
2.6.18.8-xen 

Disable tls

# mv /lib64/tls /lib64/tls.disabled

Set xend service to start

# /sbin/chkconfig --add xend
# /sbin/chkconfig xend on

Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and copy one of the existing
boot entries to make the
required changes for Xen and reboot into new kernel.

title Xen-3.2 x86_64  (2.6.18.8-xen) 
root (hd1,4) 
kernel /xen-3.2.gz 
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro
root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet 
module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

Reboot into new kernel.
