I guess you are using Fedora? Looks
like /etc/sysconfig/modules/xen.modules needs updating.

I've cc'd the two most recently listed people in the xen.spec changelog.

Gerd, Justin, the {evtchn,blkbk,netbk}.ko modules are going to be
renamed to xen-{evtchn,blkback,netback}.ko at some point in the future.

Ian.
