The Fedora initrd on the Dom0 cannot be used to start xenu's because
the initrd is lacking xenblk and xennet. Basically, you can only use
pygrub with the dom0 and unchanged initrd's, which means that you can
only run FC6 and/or F7 machines. As soon as you need to brung up other
OSes (eg FC3 or RHEL4 or Centos or Debian), you will need a custom made
initrd.
