You probably need to install the kernel-xen package instead of the 
kernel package (assuming its in F10 too, I see it in F9 at least). I 
deal with a lot of xen/kvm stuff here at the OSL so I probably can shed 
some light on it. I don't think I've fired up a Fedora VM yet in Xen but 
I know with CentOS you need kernel-xen or it won't boot.
