 My vm01 config is as follows:
 
 kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen"
 memory = 32
 name = "vm01"
 nics = 1
 dhcp ="off"
 vif = ['mac=AA:00:00:18:98:FB, bridge=xenbr0i, vifname=vii1.0']
 extra="selinux=0"
 disk = ['file:/root/xen/centos.4-2.img,sda1,w', 'file:/root/xen/centos.swap,sda2,w']
 root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
