It is covered in the xen manual

Oh, wait. You have to build the file system first, edit /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab appropriately, make sure your kernel has the appropriate modules to access the Xen virtual hardware for network and hard drive controllers, and be prepared to reset all your SELinux settings.

It's not as easy as many manuals make it out to be. It's often easiest to actually delete the kernel, and do a Fedora upgrade or install on top of the existing OS with the virt-install tool.
