I'm installing openSUSE Leap in a Xen 4.6.x DomU guest.
I'm launching the guest as PVHVM, using the openSUSE iso as cdrom.
cat os-install.cfg
builder = 'hvm'
xen_platform_pci = 1
device_model_version="qemu-xen"
boot = 'dc'
hdtype = 'ahci'
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG_XEN/G001_BOOT,xvda,w',
'phy:/dev/VG_XEN/G001_SWAP,xvde,w',
'phy:/dev/VG_XEN/G001_ROOT,xvdf,w',
'file:/home/isos/openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso,hdb:cdrom,r',
]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:01:01:01, model=e1000, bridge=br0,
vifname=vif001',]
bios = 'seabios'
...
On Guest launch, connected to the openSUSE Graphical Installer via VNC,
I select 'Create Partition Setup'. In the "Preparing Hard Disk" screen,
available HDs present as:
Hard Disk
[ ] 1: 1. IDE Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/sda, QEMU+HARDDISK
[ ] 2: 2. IDE Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/sdb, QEMU+HARDDISK
[ ] 3: 3. IDE Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/sdc, QEMU+HARDDISK
[ ] 4: 1. Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/xvda
[ ] 5: 2. Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/xvde
[ ] 6: 3. Disk 512.00 MiB, /dev/xvdf
On selection of "Custom Partitioning", the following screen's presented,

Showing BOTH sdX & xvdX drives to be partitioned. At best, it's confusing.
In PVHVM, Xen converts/maintains disk identities as both hvX and xvdX,
for internal use.
However for the purposes of the installer, here, shouldn't only the
intended 'xvdX' drives (4,5, & 6) should be presented, not the 'sdX' ?
