I don't think virt-manager (on RHEL5 anyway) is able to install SNV domU PV.
I don't think RHEL5's version of Xen can run SNV PV well either (last
time I check I had zombie domains everytime SNV domU restarts).

In my case I finally installed Xen 3.2 (rebuilt xen.org's SRPM for
x86_64), and follow instructions here

this is for older version of SNV, but might still work for SNV90.

IMHO, instead of SNV, it's better to try opensolaris 2008.05 instead

You'll get zfs root by default, plus the new image packaging system
which gives apt-like abilities.
