So, to be honest, I don't recall seeing that option in my BIOS - but I've
not looked either. I installed the x86_64 version of F11 and it works
fine.
Again, this isn't really a big issue as this is all stuff on my home
network. I was pleased just to be able to run F11 in some capacity as a
Xen guest :)
Now, if I could just get F12 to work ;)

So, as it turns out, my issue seems to be running a CentOS 5.4 x86_64 host

Is there any reason I should see the failure listed below? I've not yet
tried to install F11 x86_64 as a VM on the CentOS 5.4 x86_64 host.
Hmm.. iirc F11 GA kernel has some xen-related bugs (at least NX and xsave).
Not sure if your crash is one of those though..
Did you try toggling the NX (No eXecute memory protection) setting in
BIOS?
There was workarounds for those in post RHEL 5.4 virttest kernels, so
could try those aswell..

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...

I have a silly question... I did some goggle'ing around and it appeared

I
know 10 and 11 I'd have to use KVM....
Fedora 10, Fedora 11, and Fedora 12 all work as Xen PV domU, with the
included (pvops) kernels. Earlier Fedora versions work too.
Fedora 12 also works as Xen dom0, if you install the external unofficial
xendom0 kernel rpm.

Double check the F12 /boot type. It needs to be ext3 for now.
RHEL5 / CentOS5 doesn't have ext4 pygrub support yet.
Xen packages on F12 host/dom0 do support ext4 pygrub though.

If /boot is on another virtual drive, make sure it's the first one in
the VM's 'disk' listing (/etc/xen/foo). I remember reading that Xen
gives only the first disk to pygrub as an arg.
/usr/bin/pygrub is a Python script. Probably printing the 'file'
var to
stderr before the line fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file)) shows
what it's trying to open.

This looks like your host doesn't support the filesystem your

using. I think Fedora's on ext4 by default. One solution is to
use
ext2/ext3 for the domU's boot media or partition.
