Well, I still have the same problem, at least when using the .iso file
as source, it can't find the kernel.
I looked in y2log (>3000 lines just for this install) and found some
things referring to descr/packages. It seems like on 10.3 it's no
"package" file, just "package.{de,en,fr,...}.gz" and when the 10.2
installer looks it fails with a missing "package".
Checked on the 10.2 dvd and there it's a package file so there it's ok.
Remember that it's a 10.2 installer looking on a 10.3 install dvd, that
might be why it doesn't work directly.
Since auto extracting the kernel doesn't work I did it manually and did
a "Other os" install. It worked better but still no go, the console
window starts up and shows a few things before it just hangs.

I don't know what to look for here but for me 10.3 is still a no-go, at
least as long as you have a 10.2 xen host and want to create a 10.3 as a
guest with yast (didn't test 100% manual install, don't know that much)

Can't fail that since my Gigabyte M61P-S3 mobo doesn't support HMV (bios
issue, no update available)
