Already done.  I was running 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5hypervisor on the host,
and 2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest for the guest.

BTW, it would be helpful if the Requires for the Xen guest kernels
were trimmed a bit so the newer kernels could be installed on older
(FC4, for example) guests.  Rather than install the kernel-xen-guest
rpm, I just used --with=xennet when I created the initrd so the guest
would have networking.  I can't think of any other modules not already
loaded in the initrd that would be absolutely required for the guest.
