Many people have had problems with those versions you mention.  The Fedora
Xen packages were (and still are?) broken for a long time.

I've had luck on FC4 with kernel-xen0-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4, which I also use
for my domU.

Others using FC4 have had luck with Riel's fixes to the Xen Fedora packages:

You might also check out the FC5 rawhide to see if their built-in Xen stuff
works yet.
