F20 as a paravirt guest should work, but I think nowadays most people are
using fullvirt xen, so maybe paravirt isn't tested as much with new distros.
I'm just guessing though

Regardless, you'll probably have to dig in xen logs to or do some googling to
find more info: I don't have any idea. It's very unlikely to be a
virt-install/libvirt issue though
