The ISO is the most simple way to get XCP installed. Be aware that
this is a hypervisor product w/ the XCP platform attached. You just
boot from the cd and install away. Then you need something like Xen
Center or I guess something called Xen Open Manager if you want an
easy to use GUI interface to created, deleted and edit VMs.
If your goal is to run XCP ontop of a distro such as Debian or
Ubuntu, then you need to change the Kernel and I would recommend the
XCP Wiki and Xen Hypervisor wiki as the best place to start over.
This part was such a pain for me (since I want to manage it with a
GUI and not a command line) that I eventually just ended up giving
up on XEN. But you need the XEN Hypervisor installed first, then
you can install XCP(from my undestanding).
If you are just trying to use one machine as a server for your VM
Host, then I recommend the ISO as it's the most "plug and pray"
method available.
If your hardware is in some manner that isn't supported by the ISO,
then you will need to get things going to set it up correctly w/ the
proper kernel.
If this becomes too confusing (as it has for me) there are other
software options available such as Qemu and KVM. But I wouldn't
jump on those unless you have exhausted all options and time on
getting XEN up and running. Just focus on getting the Xen Hypervisor
running (which i believe there is even a pkg available for) then
worry about getting XCP installed.

Hi, I'am new in Xen Cloud Platform.
I have tried to build the Xen in the ISO, but failed. I have
searched many website, I found nothing. I even tried diffierent
linux, such as REHL 5 x86_64, CentOS 5.5 32bit, failed at last
too.
I felt very bad at this time, I really do not know how to
make a progress.
If any one know something, please help me. thanks.
