It was possible in the early SL4 (4.2 and later to use older Xen
kernel tarballs from xen.org Xen 3.0.2 or so, to run a dom0. I still
have a couple development machines like that. But it was
never natively built into SL until 4.5 and then it was only for domU.
If you want a SL dom0 then you should be running SL5.2 or 5.3 which
was just released. DomU support is available for 4.5 and better.

Ok.
So go for a SL 4.7 installation, unless you really need the 4.3 one.
Good luck.

P.S. It is from experience (and talknig with some sysadmins) that you are
better off putting a dom0 with a SL OS. Go for a centOS, fedora or RHEL based
one, and then build your SL machines on top.

Hi Tim
I have a dom0 server running SL 5.1 (i386), and I was able to install a
SL 4.7 (i386) domU.
When you say virt-install command/libvirt do not allow, what are the
errors you are getting?
Cheers,

I've looked into the virt-install command in more detail now. The
problem is that the SL4.3 installation tree has no images/xen/
directory, whereas more recent RHEL/SL 4.x (eg. 4.6, 4.7) do. The
virt-install expects to retrieve a vmlinuz and initrd.img from there.
(The error is "Invalid file location given: No such file or directory")
