I've got WinXP running on the 2647 kernel on FC6. The guest runs well, but the install was more than a little challenging. I ended up installing the guest using QEMU (which was tremendously slow) but once the install had completed the guest runs well.

This is a bug in the HVM emulation layer. In some cases it needs to emulate
instructions, but it looks like WinXp issues one it was unable to emulate
yet. I checked upstream xen-unstable.hg repository there's still no support
for this. Please enter a bugzilla ticket with the details from this mail so
the problem can be tracked. I'm afraid there's no immediate work around I
can think of to make this work, so you might want to try Windows 2k instead
which I believe has been getting more upstream testing than XP

Dan.
