"python-virtinst-0.300.2-5.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable
repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug
report."

So the python-virtinst you have should be OK.

Are you sure your ramdisk/initrd is correct? based on the output you pasted
it seems your initrd image is not working correctly..

Have you tried installing F10 domU with the installer?
