Looks like a PVM.

You can easiely compile many different kernel on linux. I have running a 
gentoo x86_64 dom0 (2.6.34) and xend (4.0.0). For my domUs (mostly 
gentoo but also ubuntu and other dists) I am using different kernel.
I compiled them at /usr/src/linux directory with make 
O=<sub-dir|any-other-dir> menuconfig etc. I never used fedora, but 
google said u have to install the kernel sources, if u want to compile 
your own kernel.


(It is not necessary to have domU kernel / ramdisk at boot dir.

My folder hierarchy is:

/vm/<domU-name>/ ...
... kernel
... iso image
... config file)
