I'm trying to install XP with virt-manager-0.8.5-1.fc14.noarch. XP setup gets to the point of copying the files to the .img. Then I get a quick flash that I think says something like VNC lost connection with hypervisor.
If I reboot from the disk, I get "Error loading operating system". If I reboot from the CD, it tells me the .img file is corrupt and needs to be reformatted. Then I'm back to my original problem.
Is this the right list for this problem? If not, where do I go?

If I reboot from the disk, I get "Error loading operating system".
Might be this bug?

If the VM spontaneously shuts down, something is crashing. Any error messages in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.log?

Is there an expected time line when Xen will make it back in the Fedora/RH kernel?
So before we start the flame war over KVM vs Xen. I have had nothing but bad luck with KVM and having spent years using xen and have gotten use to its "quirks".
Call it a personal preference issue.

The policy hasn't changed since we originally removed Xen. The Xen userspace continues to be distributed, and Fedora can run as a Xen guest. The Xen dom0 host kernel will be considered for re-introduction once it is merged in the mainline upstream kernel trees. The latter is still actively being pursued by the Xen community & developers but there's no firm ETA since LKML can be somewhat unpredictable :-)

Yeah, it has taken pretty long :)
Some important bits got into Linux 2.6.36, and more should go into 2.6.37. Slowly..
Upstream has a long-term maintained dom0-capable kernel git tree based on Linux 2.6.32, and will soon start tracking 2.6.36.
Michael has been building Fedora (f12) xendom0 kernel rpms.
