Please, view :-
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553690 (1)
1. It has been applied to some particular Jan's xenified kernel source
with my .config (attached). It doesn't help much at least for myself
and generates the same crash serial log as V7 patched 2.6.31.5 kernel
on Fedora 11.
2. With "kernel /boot/xen.gz mem=4G" on 11.2 final release I got 2.6.35.5-xen kernel running under Xen.
However , vm-install just crashes :-

Libvirt seems to be
broken
Attempt of F12 DomU install via normal xm-profile using local HTTP mirror ,
like mentioned in first bug hangs attempting download installation image,
patched kernel (1) on 8 GB box does pass this phase , but crashes during
package deployment phase mostly with serial output ( second attached in (1)).
This serial log in (1) seems to be fair.
Too many Xen related things are broken in (11.2 final release) at a time.
Personally, i am concerned about rebased patch set (> V7).
Thanks.
Boris.

I don't think thats a very fair comment Boris, Jan works extremely hard to forward port the Xen dom0 to new kernels, its just that this particular fix was too late to make the final build as it had not been fully tested.
There are a lot of people who want to run Xen on workstations with X, but even more who run Xen servers headless or with serial console so I understand the decision, anyway you can easily get the patch from
https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=325743 and apply it yourself, updated versions of the 11.2 2.6.31 kernel will be available in
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.2/src/ for a long time so thanks to Jan & openSUSE we have the choice of using a more up to date and supported "classic" Xen dom0 kernel.
