 this is becuse yr config file map the real physical partition  /dev/hda8 to
virtual  /dev/sda1 in yr guest domain.

So always all my real partitions will be mapped from hd* to sd*. I
can't map from hd* to hd* hmm?

 xend.log showing that yr domain is crashing. How much memory do u have on
yr machine ?
 and /dev/hda8 is yr root partition or not  for openSuse ?
 Could u check xen-hotplug.log logs, if anythg is there.

My machine has 512MB RAM. I have limited the dom0 memory to 128MB by
passing dom0_mem=131072 to Xen in GRUB.

I have assigned 256MB RAM to openSUSE.

These are the entries I have in xen-hotplug.log:

xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/14/773/params
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/2/776/params
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/2/773/params
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/4/776/params
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/4/773/params
interface vif4.0 does not exist!
interface vif10.0 does not exist!
interface vif12.0 does not exist!
interface vif14.0 does not exist!
interface vif18.0 does not exist!

Makes no sense to me ... What is xen-hotplug.log supposed to contain?

Just in case its of some use, here's the output to "xm info":
