Not exactly. On my F8 Dom0 Fedora 10 works well with latest fc8 domU kernel.
Just when trying to boot and run .fc10. PAE or x86_64 kernel, it fails
in less than 48 hours.

I think it will not be in 2.6.29. Although
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps says thatit's planned for
2.6.29, I can't see any progres in 2.6.29-rc2 changelog:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.29-rc1

I think, 2.6.29 is closed for large changes. Or I missed something?
