Hi David,

as you can see below such the kernel "xen.gz-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5" has been 
installed last year (2009). Below you see grub.conf and date  Oct  1 
2009. I can get it only from www.scientificlinux.org.

===================
[root ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this 
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd1,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/md5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/md1
