Try this -- mount the guest partition (lvm or backing file,

FC6. yum can take a command line switch to point to a chroot
path. So, if you mounted the guest into /mnt/xen_guest, you
would use yum as
yum --installroot=/mnt/xen_guest update
or something like that. You still may need to make a workable
initrd as well. There are threads here and on xensource
covering the process.
I don't think you're going to fix an FC5 guest and get it to
run under FC6. At least paravirtualized.
And BTW, I'm no expert, but I play one on the internet.

I finally got back to this project, and tried to use the yum command above
to upgrade the guest image. It did not work. I just got a message saying
"No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion".
I wonder if it's really checking the guest's configuration or the host
system.
Anyone have any more ideas?
