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
Sorry, I thought this email went to the upstream virt-manager list, hence I
was focusing on that :)
RHEL5 xen is an old frankenstein monster at this point as well, so could be a
xen issue that just hasn't been backported.
CCing fedora xen list as well, maybe they have ideas.
