For anyone with an Intel graphics card who is experiancing hangs upon boot / starting X under the Xen kernel, then I recommend testing this updated X server RPm from updates-testing. It makes X use its own x86 realmode emulator instead of relying on Xens. Send feedback to the fedora-test-list@redhat.com if you have issues with this update.
Regards, Dan.

Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2006-1237 2006-11-15
Product : Fedora Core 6 Name : xorg-x11-server Version : 1.1.1 Release : 47.1.fc6 Summary : X.Org X11 X server Description : X.Org X11 X server
- Wed Nov 15 2006 Adam Jackson ajackson@redhat.com - 1.1.1-47.1.fc6
- xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-int10-muxing.patch: Build both the vm86 and x86emu backends for BIOS calls on x86; prefer x86emu when running under Xen dom0 since Xen's vm86 handling is flaky.

Just to point out that the update made no substantial difference in my case. The system doesn't crash but X still fails to start.
with this package my system with a ATI X700 card is no longer able to start X at all , i had to boot in runlevel 3 after upgrade, if i boot in 5 the system freezes immediately. on my Laptop with a ATI V5200 Card X crashes every 2-3 time i start a AVI playback. With a Intel Card in a 3 system it works fine for me .
