First of all, since apparently a fresh-install of centos HVM domU
loads PV drivers but does NOT actually use them, you should read this
first :

Part 1. Creating a Centos HVM domU with working PV drivers :
http://pastebin.com/fb6fe631

Then you can read

Part 2, converting HVM guest to PV guest : http://pastebin.com/f6a5022bf

If you follow both parts correctly you should have a working PV domU.
If anything goes wrong during conversion process, you should still be
able to boot the previous HVM domU config if you select the non-xen
kernel (second entry) from grub menu.list.

Fajar
