I just tried without virt-install:

# cat test3vm.cfg
name = "test3vm"
uuid = "9cf2267d-9513-b9b7-bcd9-29f2962c7bd6"
maxmem = 512
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
kernel = "/tmp/vmlinuz-PAE"
ramdisk = "/tmp/initrd-PAE.img"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "preserve"
on_crash = "preserve"
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1" ]
disk = [ "phy:vg_dom0test/test3vm,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:4e:1b:ef:56,bridge=virbr0" ]

# xm create -f test3vm.cfg -c
Using config file "./test3vm.cfg".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

So same error.

# file /tmp/vmlinuz-PAE
/tmp/vmlinuz-PAE: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 2.6.31-0.162.rc6.git2.fc12.i686, RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x902, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA

# grep CONFIG_KERNEL config-2.6.31-0.162.rc6.git2.fc12.i686.PAE 

# CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA=y

OK, so the problem is the rawhide kernel is LZMA compressed. Wasn't this
changed back to GZIP earlier?
