I have a Centos5 box using xen 3.3 running a 8.x machine. its a little
behind -STABLE now so I will update it and check its still ok, but
root@seaslug.namesco.net VMCONFIG]# rpm -q xen
xen-3.3.1-0
[root@seaslug.namesco.net VMCONFIG]# rpm -q libvirt
libvirt-0.4.4-3
libvirt config file is pretty generic.
