Are you installing a DomU to a disk image file or a physical 
disk/partition? By default, virt-install (assuming that's what you're 
using to install the DomU) will put a disk image file to a location 
in /var - this can be changed however. Depending on the OS of the DomU 
you're installing, /var will be used to store various bits that are 
needed.

Are you using SLES or openSUSE and what OS are you attempting to install 
as a DomU?
