F9 and Rawhide kernel-xen are not usable as a dom0 / Xen host. You can
run them as Xen guests but they won't work on bare metal. Hopefully F10
will bring a working Xen dom0 kernel.

Until then, if you want a Xen host, run F8 or RHEL or CentOS or
something.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops and
