I didn't say so, but it also happened before with 512M defined.

As it turns out, the problem was related to the DISPLAY variable.  I use
PuTTY, which does X forwarding.  I wasn't running an X server on my
desktop when starting YaST.  Normally, this just results in a error
message, and YaST exits.  For whatever reason, it was causing the kernel
panic in this case.  (Neale Ferguson noted off-list that the PSW
indicated something in kernel space was taking a WAB (Wild Branch) into
location 0.)  Doing an "unset DISPLAY" then starting YaST seems to have
corrected the problem. 

Pretty bizarre that an X error could cause this.

You'll want to up the storage for your guest to 512M.  I've seen it
panic
fairly easily with less than that.  Full reqs are listed in the
preparation
guide (docu/en/preparation.pdf).
