I'd suggest trying 2.6.19.5 first.  I've actually gotten xen working (as far as I can tell) perfectly with that, using the vanilla kernel with a single patch pulled from the fedora 7 kernel-xen source RPM.  You could also try the fedora 7 RPM itself, but that might be difficult depending on what distro you're using and so on. I'm using xen stable ( 3.0.4.1).  You may also need to update buildconfigs/mk.linux-2.6-xen to use the right kernel version, as well as touching a few other files here and there (I seem to recall it gave me a hassle about linux-*/include/linux/autoconf.h existing or it would delete my just patched kernel tree and replace it with a bunch of non-working things)

If 2.6.19.5 doesn't fix your problem, you could also try applying that patch to 2.6.20, but I think some relevant things may have changed between 2.6.19 and 2.6.20 that might make it difficult.  I haven't tried to test that, figuring I could wait to see if anyone else gets it working. :)

Hi,
  I've been considering running Xen on my laptop (Turion X2) for quite
  some time but due to irq/smp issues, I haven't really found a stable
  kernel (most kernels end up in random freezes).  However, I've been
  using 2.6.20 for the past few days and it looks like it fixed it.  So
  my next step if compiling in Xen support to start working with Xen.
  Any ideas on how to proceed?  Thank you.
