Let me guess, your kernel-xen is the stock 2.6.34-12.x?

this is covered here
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623286#c12

comment 12 recommends installing the KOTD - kernel of the day, but a more 
robust approach is to setup the kernel build service repo

#zypper ar 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11.3/ 
kernel-obs

the above repo is now at 2.6.34.5-x
Bug 623286# is fixed here.

BTW the factory repo has a kernel-xen 2.6.34-14.x that still has this bug. Good 
thing that you didn't try it too.
