as far as I can tell, f10 wants paravirt-ops, which is only available with
a newer version of the hypervisor than is on my current production boxes.

(I'm using the CentOS 5.2 Xen hypervisor, which is the Xen 3.1 hypervisor.  
paravirt ops wants Xen 3.3, which I will have on my next server)  

KVM would work, though really it's still comparitavely immatture (even though 
the linux kernel guys seem to like it more than Xen)   as would Xen
in HVM mode.    Both these options would be quite a bit slower than 
paravirtualized xen.  I should be learning more about KVM, so maybe I should 
dedicate a server to it... but we're still taking about a week or so of lead
time.  

Do you want to try runing in HVM mode?  I can do that right now without
upgrading anything.  


the other option is to run with the kernel-xen packages from fc9.
