Since you're playing with third-party kernels on top of RHEL 5, why not try the ones from ELRepo? I've used their kernels on a RHEL 6 system to get bleeding-edge USB 3.0 support and they've been great on two systems (nothing production). I've not used their kernels for RHEL 5 (which have a

That kernel works and it boots fine without xen. With xen it panics because it doesn't have support for Dom0: shell$ grep CONFIG_XEN /boot/config-3.0.42-1.el5.elrepo # CONFIG_XEN is not set # CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST is not set Argh!! 3.0 kernel lacks some xen backend drivers needed by
