It seems close, but when using yast Xen configuration had trouble with
'guest' OS installation source, tried network, the SuSE 10.0 DVD, and
10.1 CD #1.

10.1 is using x86_64 version and Xen kernel.

Thanks for the feedback, or is there an actual question and subsequently
extra errormessages and so on.

Quite correct, the details follow:

After making sure 10.1 has the Xen rpms, the Xen kernel was
automatically added to the grub menu.

The packages are:

kernel-xen-2.6.16.13-4
xen-doc-html-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-doc-pdf-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-libs-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-tools-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-tools-ioemu-3.0.2_09656-4

Now boot the xen-kernel.

Now when running (yast->System->Virtual Machine Management) and trying
to activate a virtual machine, when selecting 'Run an OS Installation
Program' and selecting CD/DVD, the failure is finding a xen-kernel
installation to run ? Is it on the 10.0 DVD or 10.1 CD#1 or #2 ? or the
iso images ?

Perhaps the xen enabled kernels need to be built ?

The objective is to just get a SuSE kernel to run as a Virtual Machine,
he attempt was to get a 10.0 SuSE xen or 10.1 SuSE xen to run under the
10.1 x86_64 xen kernel booted.

No idea. Try adding the installation sources (and add Guru and Packman
while you are at it) as per usual.

The Xen-kernel is included in SUSE.
