Thanks for the hint Matthew!

now I have a different problem ;) I tried to format my file in reiserfs then in ext3 no one work.. 

 xm create vm/vm1
Using config file "vm/vm1".
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 492, in ?
    main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 486, in main
    sxpr = copyKernelAndInitrd(fs, kernel, initrd)
  File "/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py", line 393, in copyKernelAndInitrd
    raise RuntimeError("domUloader: Filesystem %s not exported\n" % fs)
RuntimeError: domUloader: Filesystem hda1 not exported

Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

===================

 # cat vm/vm1
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/mv/sles01/hda,hda,w' ]
memory = 256
vcpus = 1
builder = 'linux'
name = 'vm1'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:4b:0d:a9' ]
localtime = 0



extra = ' TERM=xterm'
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py'
bootentry = 'hda1:/boot/vmlinuz-xen,/boot/initrd-xen'

Can you not mount the domU's disk on the dom0, use yast2 dirinstall to install
all the necessary files and then start the domU? Once that has started you
can use yast from within the domU as per normal.
