OpenSUSE paravirt guest installation

Started to install paravirt guest OpenSUSE 10.2 on RHEL5.
The procedure is "quite" straight forward, but the default boot ISO image for SUSE is not xen-capable, so we need to get the kernel-xenpae RPM and the install-initrd RPM, then use a script to extract the kernel and modules from kernel RPM and insert to the initrd for installation use.
The script works fine under RHEL5, and now the system is installing from internet, will check if it work tomorrow morning.
