HA: HA: What will be the version of RHEL5 kernel?

Hmm.. default kernel-smp. Computer on my workplace with
single processor and it can't boot with kernel-smp (kenrel
panic) in RHEL 4 AS. May be I can add some options in grub
to boot it with this kernel? Or next version of kernel fixes
this trouble.

I've took one more look at test install I have at work. 
There is  
kernel-xen package, and userland stuff in xen package. 
However, they  
are in separate directory on install CD from the rest of the
system  
(you'll find them in VT directory).  Strangely,
kernel-xen-devel,  
xen-libs and xen-devel are part of main install tree.

Also, kernel-smp package is removed.  The default kernel is
now SMP  
enabled.  I'd guess people with single processors will
complain for  
not having a kernel "optimized" for single
processor machines anymore.  
  However, I'd also guess performance difference between
uni-processor  
and SMP kernel is small enough in recent kernels that it
doesn't  
warrant for separate kernel packages anymore.  As I said to
Melman  
about his new brown spot, "it's all in your
head".

Other than default kernel and kernel-xen, there's also
kernel-PAE for  
PAE capable CPUs which supports up to 64GB of memory (the
default  
kernel is limited to 4GB).

You might try adding "nosmp" or
"maxcpus=1" to your kernel line in grub.
