FC5 guest on FC6 host cannot work for x86 due to the PAE switch
Note that if you install an FC5 guest (eg. using an FC5 dom0) and then manually add the FC5 "kernel-xen" RPM in the guest, you can then boot that kernel from an FC6 dom0. But there is no PAE-compatible kernel on the FC5 install media, so a paravirt fresh install of FC5 on an FC6 host is not possible.
