Me too, although I know almost nothing about either myself. With that in
mind you might want to speak to the virt-install and/or Fedora18 people.
IIRC there is a fedora-virt list where Xen questions are welcomed.

I see from your log that your command line is empty, which doesn't seem
right. I'm afraid I don't know what virt-install rune would fix that, or
indeed if it should even be necessary. If you can figure out how to
append "root=/dev/xvda" to the command line you may find that does the
trick.
