If it says "failed to create initial ramdisk" or so, that yould even mean you 
have 
the wrong DVD in the drive. At some high level that error message is correct, 
but 
the initial cause is uite different. Welcome to the world of error reporting!

Ever seen the "Yast Repair Module"? Maybe to something like "rpm -V xen\*" to 
find 
out what's wrong. Also check you have everything needed installed ("rpm -qa 
xen\*"):

xen-doc-html-3.0.2_09763-0.8
xen-tools-ioemu-3.0.2_09763-0.8
xen-tools-3.0.2_09763-0.8
xen-3.0.2_09763-0.8
xen-doc-pdf-3.0.2_09763-0.8
xen-libs-3.0.2_09763-0.8

Please also have a look at /usr/share/doc/packages/xen/README.SuSE
