Please provide detailed information on what exactly you did, and what
exactly the errors and effects you are seeing look like. I am not a
Fedora/xen expert, but I see that answering you questions is hard for
others without additional information.

Then you need to compile an own kernel with the needed drivers.

Yes, SATA disks need SCSI drivers, I can tell from my experience(at lest
those I have need SCSI to run nicely with DMA). So this is completely
O.K.

What do you mean with "had no luck"? If the config stuff doesn't work in
first place, something is completely wrong there.
Did you try using menuconfig instead of xconfig? (xconfig will obviously
not work on a console based system.
What config did you copy over, a plain fedora kernel config without xen?
That wouldn't work well to create a xen kernel. What happened exactly
when it "wouldn't make"?
