Yes, continue to use the CentOS supplied kernels.

Here's what I mean, when you install a CentOS Xen kernel the grub
menu for that kernel will look like this:
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plusxen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plus
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plusxen ro root=/dev/CentOS/root
module /initrd-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plusxen.img
You need to change the 'kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plus'
to read 'kernel /xen.gz-3.2'
If you don't do this xend will fail to run and your domains will
fail to start because the userland tools are expecting a Xen 3.2
kernel and you will have a Xen 3.1 kernel running.
