Fedora 8 is currently the latest Fedora release to include dom0 capable kernel. 

Xen utils/libraries/hypervisor is included in Fedora 9 and 10, and upcoming
11, but dom0 capable kernel is missing until dom0 support is added/included
into upstream (Linus) kernel.

Your options are:

- Use Fedora 8, or RHEL/CentOS 5.3 as your dom0
- Build custom dom0 kernel for your Fedora 10 (xenlinux 2.6.18 or pv_ops dom0)
- Use some of the pre-built pv_ops dom0 capable kernels, note they are experimental!
- Wait until dom0 capable kernel is back in Fedora (Fedora 12 or so..)

See fedora-xen mailinglist archives for more information.
