Yeah.. I believe RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.2 has too old python-virtinst to handle/install F10 guests..
RHEL 5.3 will contain updated python-virtinst that supports F10 guests. It is already included in RHEL 5.3 beta.

If you can't try RHEL 5.3 beta dom0, you could try with installing python-virtinst-0.300.2-10.el5 or newer to your RHEL 5.2 / CentOS 5.2 dom0.. it should add support for F10 domUs. For more information check that bugzilla link above.
RHEL 5.3 beta announcement: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-announce/2008-October/msg00000.html
contains: python-virtinst-0.300.2-11.el5
Oh, and it seems you also need newer libxc:
Yes, that is correct - RHEL-5.2 Xen doesn't understand the new bzImage style kernels.

So is there any way to get F10 domU running on F8 dom0 ?
I don't want to have to downgrade all my dom0s to RHEL or CentOS ...
Based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457199 "And we're including that patch now in F-8, F-9 and F-10" libxc bzImage support should be fine in Fedora 8 (with all the updates installed).
Then there's the problem with python-virtinst..
I guess python-virtinst in Fedora 8 cannot handle F10 guests?
Latest version in F8 updates seems to be: python-virtinst-0.300.2-4.fc8
Which looks too old to support F10 guests..
So maybe you have to update python-virtinst in F8 and then try again?
I posted this elsewhere in the thread, but just yesterday I built a new F8 virtinst which should allow installing F10 xen guests:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=71125 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458164
It should be in updates testing now. Give it a +1 in bodhi if it works for you, and the package will eventually make it to the plain updates repo:
