[Fedora-xen] Boot fails with 2.6.20-2925.5.fc7xen

I have just completed a clean install of FC7 test 4 on a custom built 
machine:

MB: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Video: Asus EN7900GS
RAM: Veritech DDR2 800 1 Gig x 2
HD: Pair of Maxtor 120 Gig SATA drives running as a mirrored RAID array 
through the hardware controller on the motherboard

The install ran fine, but when I boot the Fedora xen kernel 
(2.6.20-2925.5.fc7xen) it crashes during the boot process.

If I boot "Fedora base (2.6.20-1.3104.fc7)", then it boots fine.

When booting the Fedora xen kernel the last output in the console is:

Kernel panic: Not syncing - Aiee, killing interupt handler!


I have seen a thread in this list talking about problems with the 
2.6.20-2925.5.fc7xen kernel.  Can anyone suggest what I may be able to 
do to work around this problem?  Is there a different xen kernel that I 
could be using with FC7?  If so, where would I get it from?

I am new to virtualisation and average with Linux, so would greatly 
appreciate any assistance.

Regards,
Langdon
