  I've avoided replying because this isn't a xne-tools issue.  It is
 a xen issue.

  In short if you copy the disk image of a working system then your
 xen configuration file should point to that - in the correct fashion
 for a loopback file, or an LVM mount.

  The kernel being used, and any initrd, will obviously be coming
 from our fedora host.

  Here is a sample for LVM-based machine.  It won't work for you,
 but it will show you the correct form for such a setup.  For further
 assistance you'd be better off mailing the xen-users mailing list...
