Uhm, no.

Xen 3.4.x is NOT supported on RHEL5/CentOS5 !!

RHEL5/CentOS5 includes Xen hypervisor 3.1.2 (+a lot of patches by Redhat and 
from newer Xen versions).
That's the version that is supported by Redhat in RHEL5.

I believe xen.org is planning to release at least Xen 3.4.4 until 3.4 branch is 
'forgotten'.
See: http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-3.4-testing.hg

"6 weeks ago:   Update Xen version to 3.4.4-rc1-pre".

Xen 4.0 branch is at Xen 4.0.1-rc4 atm, which fixes a lot of issues after Xen 
4.0.0:
