As always with Xen, it's irritatingly easy when you know how, and next 
to impossible when you don't.
The jailtime images assume that you've built your system from the Xen 
sources, but you have to work that out for yourself. 'vmlinuz-2.6-xen' 
is the standard combined Dom0/DomU kernel produced by the build process, 
and links to vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen in 3.1. Of course, these files don't 
exist in Fedora, and the Fedora Dom0 Xen kernel can't be used to boot a 
guest.
I downloaded the 3.1 binaries from 
http://xen.org/download/dl_31tarballs.html, and created 
'/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen' as a symlink to 
'dist/install/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen' in the distribution files. Now, 
of course, the Debian 4.0 and Centos 5.1 jailtime images boot up 
immediately, with no config file changes, and no ramdisk line.
