I've ran "zypper update" and brought system to the most recent status.
Current 2.31.8-xen kernel is OK now. However, i believe , that vm-install
in recently updated 11.2 works as bad as it did before maintenance update.
As far as i understood suggestion bellow attempts to install 11.2 PV Guest via
ISO image.Follow

You can also use the following work around to install using an ISO file.
Select 'Create Virtual Machine" from the Yast menu or vm-install from the
command line or via virt-manager. The instructions start once you get to the
"Summary" screen.
Step 1: From the "Summary" screen, Select "Operating System Installation".
Step 2: From the "Operating System Installation" screen, select "Virtual Disk"
and then "Add".
Step 3: From the "Virtual Disk" Screen, select your ISO file.
Step 4: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen.
Step 5: From the "Summary" screen, select "Disks".
Step 6: From the "Disks" screen highlight the ISO you just added as an
installation source and Select "Remove".
Step 7: From the "Disks" screen select "Harddisk".
Step 8: From the "Virtual Disks" screen select your ISO file. Check the
"Read-Only Access" box.
Step 9: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen.
Step 10: From the "Summary" screen Press "Ok" to start the installation
(assuming other settings are correct).
During the installation of the guest, you may see a warning on the
"Installation Settings" screen under the "Booting" section that says 'It was
not possible to determine the exact order of disks for device map. The order of
disks can be changed in "Boot Loader Installation Details"'. So far, we have
not seen any adverse effects from this warning by simply ignoring it.

OK , try to reproduce procedure above for F12 ISO image with --debug option to
see what's going on
# vm-install --debug
DEBUG Installation source: 3.3 GB CD-ROM or DVD (file:/root/vmf/f12.iso)
DEBUG Examining '/root/vmf/f12.iso' for partitions...

So, in meantime vm-install doesn't inderstand either HTTP or CDROM source
attempting to create PV Guest and virsh scripting appears to be the only one
option to create Xen PV Guests manageable via virt-manager.
