So if I got it correctly so far, is the first step in using Xen, to
install the xen-enabled kernel on my CentOS 5.0 machine and reboot

Yes - install it and modify grub.conf to use it, no need to reinstall.
What the virtualization guide doesn't mention until the
troubleshooting section is that you'll also want to modify
DEFAULTKERNEL from "kernel" to "kernel-xen" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel,
or future yum upgrades will switch your system back to using the non-
Xen kernel by default.
It also doesn't mention the full package list you'll need to use Xen.
I found that "sudo yum -y install virt-manager kernel-xen" was enough
to pull in everything.
