Hi,
I've made some other tests, including using "xvd" instead of "sda" devices

Any help is *REALLY* appreciated. Thanks.
There are problems running other distributions on Fedora Xen when
using the Fedora Xen Packages. That might also apply to older Fedora
versions.
Dan might hit me on the head for saying this, but Fedora/Redhat _do_
things to the kernels and initrd that I call "strange" at best,
because they introduce incompatibilities and make installing other
distributions hard or impossible - I still didn't get Debian running
on Fedora when using the Fedora Xen packages, and invested quite some
time, while it is no problem with Xensource packages on Fedora - so
it's pretty sure the kernel or initrd that is "wrong" or "strange" or
"different". I can very well imagine that the same does also introduce
problems when trying to run some old Fedora version.
I don't know if that is by intention to keep business interests, or
just by accident. But they seem to ignore the fact, as also others on
fedora-xen state, that it is one important usage scenario for using
xen: running different distributions for fun and profit.
Try making your own initrd with the options --with=xennet and
--preload=xenblk options on the call to mkinitrd (give it another
name than the original, to keep this original).
And look at ethe fedora-xen list archives - this has been discussed
there - search for initrd and debian.
