[CentOS-virt] Fedora 12 2.6.31.5-127.fc12 domU on CentOS 5.4 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen fails to boot

So, I am going to show my ignorance here...  Is there anything special I 
need to do to use those kernels?  I could have sworn when I tried either 
F 10 or F 11 - I couldn't work it without qemu running.  But I could be 
wrong :)

Maybe I should retry 11...
