kernel-xen from FC9 does not provide Dom0 ("host") functionality. Currently 
there is no usable Xen Dom0 in Fedora (besides Fedora 8 where support will be 
dropped in a few months).

If you want to have a stable Xen Dom0, you should go for CentOS oder RHEL.
If you just want "virtualization", you should look at KVM which is the 
upcoming "standard" virtualization for RHEL. Red Hat announced a few days ago 
that they think about dropping Xen completely when RHEL 5 is not supported any 
longer (2014).
