Cole has rebuilt the RHEL-5.2 Xen and virt-install packages with the
neccessary patches to allow Fedora 10 installs:

  http://crobinso.fedorapeople.org/rhel5/install_f10/

These are totally *unsupported* and not an official part of RHEL, they
are just a convenience for people who want to try out F10 by can't 
wait until 5.3

The official supported packages will arrive in RHEL-5.3.
