Suse uses domUloader.py and FC5 uses pygrub.
Suse uses dom0 Kernel for installing from cd. So far I was not 
successful doing this, but my problem could be ressources as you pointed 
out so I will try to  find some more RAM for installation.
Do I understand the Yast concept correctly that it is theoretically 
possible to use _any_ linux installer for setting up a domU (as long as 
it is supplied vai cd/dvd or as iso image)?
