I used the original one and I get the same problem with the fc6xen:

[root at localhost xen]# cat Cent
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xenU"
#kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen"
memory = 512
name = "thoreau"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xenU.img"
#ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen.img"
#ip = "192.168.0.50"
#netmask = "255.255.255.255"
#gateway = "192.168.0.1"
#hostname = "testing"
vif = [ '' ]
#dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = 
['phy:/dev/VSI/thoreau,sda1,w','phy:/dev/VSI/thoreauHS,sda4,w','phy:/dev/VSI/swap1G-1,sda2,w','phy:/dev/VSI/tmp1G-1,sda3,w']
#disk = 
['file:/img/centos.4-3.VSI,sda1,w','phy:/dev/VolGroup00/swap1,sda2,w','file:/img/tmpfiles,sda3,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

Thank you for your quick response.
