I had the same problem trying to get xen hypervisor to work on fedora6.
i fixed the problem by installing virt-manager with the qemu hupervisor and was able to create virtual machines. apt-get install virt-manager and your good to go, u might have some problems bridging the virtual network adapter with your host network adapter, with the network manager running, so i uninstalled it and configured a script in the interfaces file as shown below:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
up ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
up brctl addbr vnet0
up brctl addif vnet0 eth0
up ifconfig vnet0 <ip address> netmask 255.255.255.0 up
up route add -net <network ip> netmask 255.255.255.0 vnet0
up route add default gw <gateway ip> vnet0
this should allow you to have internet activity on both the host and the virtual machine
set up your bridging using the brctl command utility and you should be good to go.

Which interfaces file have to configured with this script? I just installed Xen-3.3.1 on fedora9. I am able to start the xend services and can see the processes running under pstree -pa | grep xend
But when I try to connect through virt-manager. It says the connection cannot be established..
I am able to connect to Xend through Virt-manager..
Just thought I should post a valid solution for this unanswered thread.. here it goes..
When you install Xen. You will need to configure xend using the file /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
In this file search for the following line:
#(xend-unix-server no)
uncomment it and change it to: (xend-unix-server yes)
If you want to connect to xend through http then you should uncomment and change the (xend-http-server no) to 'yes'. (This has security concerns and its not safe)
Restart the xend server and try connecting to Xen hypervisor.. Hope this helps.. Atleast, it worked for me..
