Hi,
here are all my config files & logs taken from my test:

Please note that the kernel used is the one provided by Fedora RPM Packages.
The initrd (initrd-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xenU.img) has been generated using
the mkinitrd syntax listed below.

- Test 1)

Xen config file:
#kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen"
#ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xenU.img"
memory = 256
name = "mail"
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
#vif = ['mac=aa:00:00:00:00:01']
disk = ['tap:aio:/xen/mail/fedora.img,xvda1,w','tap:aio:/xen/mail/swap1.img,xvda2,w']
#root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
#extra = "ro selinux=0 3"

DomU grub:
