Processor spins all the way up to 97 percent and sits there. An xm

OK. That probably means you are all the way booted, and just not seeing
the init output. You can try one of two things here:
1) Add "console=xvc0" to the kernel command-line when booting the
RHEL-4 kernel; that should force the init output to go to the serial
console.
2) Use virt-manager to view the console.
At least there you should be able to see what is going on.
