Huh. Interesting. RedHat's SRPM's are a bit more sophisticated than
those for Xensource, traditionally, so I'm not shocked you found a
discrepancy building it for x86_64. Perhaps you can review the
differences in the .spec files and see how RedHat did it?

Solved, the problem was the /usr/lib/xen/hvmloader line was commented in xen.spec file. Now I have the xen-3.2.0-0xs rpms. Now I have a silly question Should I rebuild the Linux kernel available @ xen.org to get xen 3.2 up or will it work with CentOS kernel?
