I'm currently doing this.   I've got a couple of FC4 domU's running on a
FC5 dom0.  You need the kernel image on the host (dom0) and the guest
(domU), and obviously entered in the xen config file.

My domU's were actually built on a FC4 dom0 and then transferred across
once my FC5 dom0 was built so I don't know if the build process is
what's causing your problem.
