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....
