Hi after all that trouble I finally have some good news.Ya I
understand that the environment I am using have not been tried by many
people.After all the previous methods to install CentOS DomU on Debian
Lenny Dom0 failed  which I had asked in this list also.
I have started a new and fresh approach.Deleting all the previous LVMs.

What I am doing now is creating a QEMU image and then exporting that to Xen.
I have attached two snapshots again,
You can see I was able to boot CentOS on my Xen machine using QEMU to
be able to install.I am new to QEMU and using it for the first time so
my questions might be of that of a novice.
So need suggestions from list.
Here are the snapshots
CentOS on QEMU over SSH
http://www.flickr.com/photos/48996087@N07/4620394997/
and then 32 bit CPU error message
http://www.flickr.com/photos/48996087@N07/4620394999/
I searched this message on net.I am using x86_64 bit of CentOS 5.5
So it might be a possibility that QEMU is reporting is 32 bit CPU.
Now let me know if some one has some suggestion to let me try this out.

Once all this is done I will surely write a wiki or guide.So that if
some one gets or tries this
Debian lenny Dom0 and CentOS DomU combination it may provide some help to them.

> You've been describing different set of problems, using different LV

Ok sorry about that it had been quite confusing to me I will keep that
in mind before posting.

I do not have a GUI running on the remote server where I have to
install CentOS and have never used virt-manager so just wanted to know
does virt-manager require and GUI.

Let me know if I have should start a new thread or continue in the same.
Thanks for all the help.
