It seems to be fixed for me. Using hvm I can now start a 7.3-FreeBSD cd.

I hope this helps someone:
I went from kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 to kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.=
centos.plus.
And also updated xen(now version 3.4.3): xen-libs-3.4.3-1.el5=2C...

rpm -qa |grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.8-1.el5.centos
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus
kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.5-1.el5
xen-3.4.3-1.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus
kmod-fuse-xen-2.7.4-21.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
xen-devel-3.4.3-1.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
xen-libs-3.4.3-1.el5

I used the RPMs provided from here:
