Thanks for the link.
After doing some reading, I started to set this up. When it came time
to install, there were a few obvious problems:
sudo rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3.4-2.9xen2.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.9xen2.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.9xen2.i386.rpm
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.9xen2.i386.rpm xen-3.0.2.2-86.1_rhel4.1.i386.rpm
xen-kernel-2.6.16-xen3_86.1_rhel4.1.i686.rpm

Crud. Need packages for glibc-2.3.4-2.19.
I installed the xen package and xen-kernel from xen source, but got
these errors:

Looks like I can ignore these, but it's not pretty.
I'll have to wait for updated packages to be installed, install from
source, or rebuild the xen source glibc source RPM for glibc-2.3.4-.19.
I don't want to do a source install, and I already took a look at the
source RPM - yikes. I don't want to touch that spec file. Guess I'll
have to wait then.
I wonder why xen source has packages for RHEL 4.1, but not anything
newer. There have been a lot critical security updates since then.

Ranbir
