We are trying to install a 32-bit SLES9-SP4 paravirtual machine on a 64-bit 
SLES10-SP1 Dom0 host from scratch. 

We have two problems:

1. The YaST2 VM creation tool fails to create a vm if a network card is 
selected.

2. The initial vm boots from the SLES9-SP4 iso file, but then complains it 
can't find the installation source.

Here is the /etc/xen/vm/file (after manually editing for a network card):

ostype="sles9"
name="mail2"
memory=3192
vcpus=1
uuid="96cf02ef-525c-3099-5313-30b955c244d0"
on_crash="destroy"
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="destroy"
localtime=0
builder="linux"
kernel="/tmp/kernel.bsPM-v"
ramdisk="/tmp/install-initrd.smeCcF"
extra=" install=hd:/dev/xvda "
disk=[ 'file:/ISO_Files/SLES-9-SP4-CD-i386-GM-CD1.iso,xvda:cdrom,r', 
'phy:/dev/cciss/c0d0p7,xvdb,w', 'file:/dev/cciss/c0dop6,xvdc,w', ]
vif = [  ]
vfb=['type=vnc,vncunused=1']


We have Googled mightily, to no avail.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Mark
