***************************************************************
To port Xen 3.3.1 to xen disabled CentOS 5.2 instance (64 bit)
***************************************************************
Download recent versions of git and mercurial (tar.gz)
and install .
make install for "hg" requires :-
# cd Working_dir
# make
# make install
# cp -R mercurial /usr/local/bin

Directory where "hg" has been copied requires
mercurial folder, when you do "make local" everything is OK , but you have:-
# export PATH=Working_dir:$PATH.
When you do "make install" a workaround above is required.

Then:-
# which hg
would work fine

# cd /usr/src/
# tar -zxvf xen-3.3.1.tar.gz
# cd xen-3.3.1
# 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
Install bridge-utils:-
# yum install bridge-utils
************************************************************************
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-3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18.8-xen) (/dev/sdb12)
root (hd1,11)
kernel /xen-3.3.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

Next :-
You are missing libvirt,virt-install ant etc.
You need openSUSE 11.1 ;(
No, really you don't:-

openSUSE 11.1 runs as XEN dom0 or domU automatically.
