First stupid question by me :D
1. Do you really need to be running xen? (ie, are you doing a DomU
also on that machine) If not, boot the real kernel and you will be set

There are no silly questions, only silly walks....
No. I do not require, or desire, a Xen VM or HVM machine. This is what
the install of CentOS-5 from CD gave me and as far as I can recall I did
not have an option to do otherwise. I will gladly boot to the "real"
kernel to bypass this nonsense if some kind soul will tell me how to do
this. I do not see any non-xen images in /boot, how do I get them?
Most likely "yum install kernel" will get you a regular kernel. If you do
"yum list kernel\*" you will see a list of all of the available kernel packages.
From there you can pick the one you want. Once you have the regular kernel
running I would do "yum erase kernel-xen" if you are not going to use the xen
stuff. Warning, only erase the xen kernel AFTER you have the machine running
the normal kernel, otherwise you will have a machine that will not boot.
In addition you should edit /etc/grub.conf to make the normal kernel the default.
That way you will not have to select it each time you reboot.
