its quite funny because sles 10 does not have any pygrub, the only way 
to create vms is the domUloader.
yesterday I tried had some idea but i dont know if this is a good or a 
worse idea maybe you can give my some feedback.
ok i thought maybe its possible to create a block device with dd (the 
normal way). than create a partition table on it and create some 
partitions with filesystem on it. afterwards to mount this first 
partition an do the installation stuff with debootstrap.....like i told 
you i created a partition table...and now its possible to install grub 
on the block-device, which can start and load the normal xen fixed 
kernel from debian....
what do you think? a worse idea or a good idea ^^
