I'm currently in the process of switching to priorities because of packages from external repos replacing the stable ones that come with CentOS even though I was using protectbase. I'm not entirely sure this is what was causing my reboot issues on the Xen boxes that I run but it certainly could have been a factor.

I now know at least a half dozen ways to hose a solid CentOS Xen
install. That's a good thing, I learn from mistakes. Like forgetting to
actually completely configure priority statements in the repo confs.
In the past I have used yum protect-base, but about a year ago or so I
switched to yum priorities because it seems a bit more granular.
Is there a recommended preference on CentOS Xen installs? I'm pretty
conservative now and won't go near Plus or Contribs, I do have Convirt
repos in and it looks like they pulldown a couple dependencies from
RPMForge (paramiko and socat).
I don't plan on anymore repos, but am wary enough to want to nail my
last install down.
Any prefs here for CentOS Xen? Yum Protect-base or Priorities?
