This does indeed sound like a PAE / non-PAE mismatch.  Any clues in 
the /var/log/xen/xend.log file?

RHEL5 and recent Fedora versions support only PAE.  PAE may not have been 
supported at the time of FC4's release.  You could check if there's a 
PAE-enabled Xen kernel for FC4 by doing a yum search, but I wouldn't hold my 
breath.

In this case, the most straightforward way to run FC4 would probably be to use 
HVM.  You could still probably install paravirt drivers in order to improve 
performance.

Personally, I wish there was a RedHat non-PAE Xen available; as it is I have 
to build my own for compatibility with existing guests (and in the case of my 
laptop, I have to build non-PAE Xen in order to run at all!).

Hope that helps you somewhat.

Cheers,
Mark
