For starters, try using the following command to install the package
instead. I haven't tested this, so I'm not sure if you will run into
problems or not.

yum localinstall xen-2-20050522.i386.rpm

Hopefully, yum will be able to solve your dependencies and get you
going. Really, you should have little use for running rpm directly, as
yum will handle most package managing tasks in a better manner.
