kernel-xen from FC9 does not provide Dom0 ("host") functionality. Currently
there is no usable Xen Dom0 in Fedora (besides Fedora 8 where support will be dropped in a
few months).
If you want to have a stable Xen Dom0, you should go for CentOS oder RHEL.
If you just want "virtualization", you should look at KVM which is the upcoming
"standard" virtualization for RHEL. Red Hat announced a few days ago that they
think about dropping Xen completely when RHEL 5 is not supported any longer (2014).

Thank you for the info... I didn't know that.
Sorry for the question but if I understand the kernel-xen RPM is
unusable, is it?
If so, why does it exist?
If not, how can be used?
Thank you so much!
Cheers,
