You won't be able to do that trivially on Xen 3.x, since RHEL 3.0 is
based on 2.4 kernel version, and Xenified Linux is a 2.6 kernel version.


Your best chance (without a HUGE effort) is to use HVM mode (requires
AMD-V/Intel VT processor). Alternatively, you may be able to use Xen
2.0.x, as that has support for 2.4.x kernels, I believe.
