Note in RHEL5.2 or centos5.2 the xen and kernel-xen that come
with the distro already work pretty good--the rpm says xen 3.0.3
but it is really (mostly) xen 3.1.2 on the inside, that's what the
dmesg prints out. It may be good enough so you don't have to recompile.

This is likely because you did not make a new initrd.img
from the new kernel to boot the domU .

depmod 2.6.16.29
mkinitrd /path/to/yourinitrd.img 2.6.16.29
