F29 Beta has 4.11.0 At present I have one instillation on F29 that worked straight away with :- sudo yum groupinstall 'Virtualization' sudo yum install xen And another were I did a yum update first and Xen it does not function with the missing module.mod and multiboot.mod issue that was found in F27 and F28. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486002#c36 I just need to do the diff's on /boot and the rpm's tomorrow to see what if I can find the issue.
