I have tried the 4.2.0-rc packages on three machines: one with an AMD Athlon X2,
one with an AMD FX 4170 [1], and a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo.
The first machine works fine.
The FX 4170 and MacBook are unable to load Dom0. I see Xen print its
boot messages, but the machines spontaneously reboot before Dom0 prints
any output.

So did you use the stock Fedora kernel as dom0 kernel?
Did you capture the boot/crash logs from the two machines?
