Yes, I have seen this problem, and there is a work around.
You are probably missing some files under /var/adm/Yast/

You need
  /var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_00000001

and possibly some of the files under
  /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/

although I can't remember if those get populated when you
select the Installation media. I would copy just the prod_00000001
file first, then see if you can select an installation source
media using the yast tool.

You can copy the files from your dom0 filesystem to the DomU
filesystem, assuming of course that they are both the same
SuSE distribution, they have to match.

Hope that helps.
