Yes. The xen/evtchn and xen/gntdev are differently created on 2.6.32
and xen-4.0-testing.

For details:

You can "fix" this by doing:

git revert 376d908f52427591cef4acd172db9c3ef28676ec
and 
git revert 9d85e25edbcb8a684db8470119077475ac4d90b5

That will make it possible for you to use the 2.6.32 with Xen 4.0 (and
earlier versions).

There is a bug 1612 for udev. But that is not hit by Fedora 13, but
rather other distros. There is a patch that fixes some of the udev
versions, but not all.
