I'm having problems following the howto's for Solaris on CentOS 5.1/Xen.  Here 
is my setup:

CentOS 5.0 installed from CD's, plus patched to 5.1 from yum

# uname -r
2.6.18-53.1.4.el5xen

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5 (Final) 

# ls -al /usr/lib/xen-solaris/
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 2718433280 Jan 17 17:32 sol-10-u4-ga-x86-dvd.iso
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3674931200 Jan 18 11:21 sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root    1352660 Jan 18 11:23 unix-78
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root root   61181057 Jan 18 11:22 x86.miniroot

# ls -al /xen/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 10240000000 Jan 17 17:43 solaris.img

# cat /etc/xen/solaris
name = 'solaris'
memory = '1024'
disk = [ 
'file:/xen/solaris.img,0,w','file:/usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso,6:cdrom,r'
 ]
vif = [ '' ]
on_shutdown = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-solaris/unix-78'
ramdisk = '/usr/lib/xen-solaris/x86.miniroot'
extra = '/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix - nowin -B install_media=cdrom'

I've made the change to 
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/blkif.py and restarted xend

When I try to create the VM I get the following:
# xm create /etc/xen/solaris -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/solaris".
Error: Device 6 (vbd) could not be connected. losetup -r /dev/loop1 
/usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso failed

# cat /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log 
Nothing to flush.
/usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso: Permission denied
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/5/6/node

Any help would be appreciated as nobody else seems to have the same problems 
with CentOS 5
