Dropping the amount of memory assigned to Dom0 to 512MB or less (e.g. 
384MB) can help. Also, as Mats suggested, upgrading to the most recent 
XEN kernels and tools can help. I don't think 3.0.3 has quite been 
released yet (I haven't checked for a while to be honest).
You can find the current builds for XEN on the Novell Forge site:
http://forge.novell.com (search for XEN Technical Preview)

Alternatively, openSUSE 10.2 is about to be released (this Thursday I 
have heard).
