By doing a yum upgrade rather than a clean install, or booting with an 
FC7 medium, you've skipped out on the kernel compatibility testing that 
goes with that step. I sympathize: I used to get paid good money to 
resolve exactly that sort of update and compatibility fun. So what you 
have is not really a Xen problem: it's an "FC7 kernel-xen won't boot my 
hardware" problem, right? Will the non-Xen FC7 kernel boot your hardware?
Can you boot this hardware with an FC7 installation CD or DVD?
