  I've not seen this problem, but I don't have much experience with
 fedora.

  I don't see anything obvious wrong in your transcript...

  Probably a good idea to either mail the fedora-core list, or the
 xen-users list.

  For what it is worth with my Etch dom0 system I can run this to
 get a guest  - but it gives a kernel panic on bootup "invalid opcode:
 0000 [1] smp"

    xen-create-image --hostname=fo.bar.baz --ip=10.0.0.209 \
        --dist=fedora-core-8 --install-method=rinse --arch=amd64
