It is trying to fetch the Xen kernel from the download location. Since
FC4 does not support Xen there is no kernel to fetch & this you get this
404 error. We should do better reporting in this case really.

Since FC4 has no Xen support you'll need to do a fully-virtualized
install instead (assuming you have VT support in your CPU)
