ok, 

here a step by step guide :-) 

install FC5 , no xen package now clone the xen-unstable repro : 

hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg 

cd xen-unstable/buildconfigs 

overwrite the linux-defconfig_xen0_x86_32 and linux-defconfig_xen_x86_32
file with the file attached 

now cd back to the xen-unstable directory and execute make install 

it will ask you some questions for the kernel config , just press enter here
(it will be around 10 times) 

now it should take some time and it compiles the hypervisor, + the new dom0
kernel and install it into /boot + some libs, tools,etc .. 

now add the following lines to your /boot/grub/menu.lst: 

title Fedora Core (xen-unstable) 
        root (hd0,0) 
        kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=300M 
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.16.13-xen ro root=/dev/rootvg/rootlv 
        module /initrd-2.6.16.13-xen 

now build your initrd with the following command :  mkinitrd
/boot/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen 2.6.16.13-xen 

last step , reboot and choose your new xen-unstable menu entry ... 

after reboot start xend with : /etc/init.d/xend restart     
create your config for your domains ,etc ....
