As said, i would report back.
It seems i met another pygrub-"issue",

If you start with the yast2 module, remove the default disk and
1) add a bootable cdrom and _next_
2) add you boot/root disk,
you get a problem where the system starts to install but fails after the
initial reboot.

However if you swap them, eg:
1) _first_ add the disk that will hold /boot, 
2) _next_ add the iso image all works fine...
Seems it was known on the xen-users-list....
