RHEL 5.0 Beta XEN installation

using virt-install to install RHEL4.0 xen guest, the following error message was shown:

Starting install...

ERROR: Invalid NFS location given: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/xen/xennfs.XfOkIq/images/xen/vmlinuz'

because there is no xen directories under images, since RHEL4.4 is not XEN ready...

according to http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO , currently we can not use virt-install to install RHEL4.4 , the image should be installed in someway, the apply the virtualization kernel RPM which is available in http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/ .

not sure whether http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/ shows the RPM for RHEL 4.4 guest VM, or RHEL4.4 XEN host.
