Hello,
I just wrote a step-by-step tutorial how to install the latest Xen 4.0.1 hypervisor on Fedora 13 (x86_64) host from src.rpm packages, and the pvops dom0 kernel from git repository.
Check it out: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial
It also shows how to install various Xen PV guests using the native distro installers:
- CentOS 5.5 - Fedora 13 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Hopefully this is helpful to someone! :)
-- Pasi
Note about disk partitioning: Make /boot partition the primary
(first) partition and choose the filesystem type as "ext3" (not "ext4" - which is the default)
Could you , please , explain why ?
Boris.

It's "just in case". It's not really required. I prefer making sure every tool out there can read /boot partition to avoid problems :)

Via my experience :-
title Xen 4.0.1 on F13 rootnoverify (hd1,7) chainloader +1
might have problems with ext4. I have not notice anything else.

pvgrub can't handle ext4 partitions, and does so in a non-obvious way (often by just going into a spin loop...).

It was written concerning Dom0 set-up on top F13 not DomU
