I don't know if you've played with suse 12.1 yet, but I just upgraded my bare 
metal suse 11.4 system to 12.1. That actually was problematical as far as xen 
goes, since suse has stopped supporting 32 bit xen. See my thread 'openSUSE 
12.1 does not have complete xen rpms'. I recompiled the .src.rpm, and 
installed xen 4.1.2.

My pv suse 11.4 domu starts just fine, but has no mouse. Apparently, even tho' 
suse 12.1 is still naming its pv drivers xennet & xenblk, it has retained 
enough of the pvops 3.1 kernel architecture that the mouse in an old xenlinux 
arch pv domu like 11.4 is no longer supported. Sign of the times.
