Yes, and actually I was using the distro's own install method to setup
a PV domU.

I am saying that I have a pv config file but if I answer Y to the
reboot request at the
end of the installation, that is very slow as you said, the domU reboots but
the setup process start again, like if it was the first install, not
detecting that
it has to finish the setup which required the reboot!
This is the config file I use to start the first install:

name="OpenSuse11"
memory=1024
disk = 
['phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r','file:/mnt/xen/vmstore/opensuse11/opensuse11.img,xvda,w'
]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:21, bridge=xenbr0' ]
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,keymap=it" ]
stdvga=1
videoram=16
#bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
kernel = "/mnt/xen/kernel/opensuse/vmlinuz-xen"
ramdisk = "/mnt/xen/kernel/opensuse/initrd-xen"
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'destroy'
#usbdevice='tablet'
#extra = 'xencons=tty'
extra = 'noapic ssh=1 sshpassword=lolrofl addswap=/dev/xvda2
install=http://192.168.1.100/suse11/'

Of course at http://192.168.1.100/suse11/ location the Suse DVD iso
image is mounted as loop.

Once the domU has rebooted, it asks again to ssh the domU and proceed
with the OS installation.
At this point I interrupt, since I don't want to perform again another
installation over the one I've
just done.

Of course, I've also tried to uncomment the bootloader line and comment the
two following, but it doesn't work.
The domU doesn't start.
