Xen users - Jun 2008 - CentOS 5.1 x86_64 Xen 3.2 binaries available

Since there were no x86_64 binaries available on the site, and I 
couldn''t find them elsewhere, I had to compile them from source - which
was not easy, as it has a bunch of dependencies, requires modification 
of the spec file and the boot entry. 

I have made the binaries available and create a short how-to of 
installing them at 
http://www.ruslansivak.com/index.cfm/2008/6/9/Xen-32-on-CentOS-51--x8664--RHEL-51-x8664

Feedback welcome.

It would be far easier to grab the srpm and rebuild it with one simple command.
This builds rpms that do modify grub.conf etc...

Now if you built the current 3.2.1 source for x64 and provided those rpms... :)

I did grab the srpm and built it.  It still required a lot of 
dependencies, modifying the spec file and modifying the boot entry.

Now if someone would make the srpms for 3.2.1 available...
