Xen Hypervisor on CentOS 5.X may be upgraded to 3.4.2 via http://gitco.com/repo
Xenified kernel will stay matching current status in repos 2.6.18-128el5xen or something
like that.

I don't think RHEL5 version of Xen has PVSCSI support.

You need to have the pvscsi backend driver (scsiback) in dom0 kernel,
and the pvscsi frontend driver (scsifront) in the domU kernel.

Also Xen tools in dom0 need to have the support for handling PVSCSI.
iirc PVSCSI first appeared on Xen 3.3.0.
