Did `zypper in vm-install` miss some dependencies?
By default vm-install will use libvirt to create VMs. Using the '--use-xl' flag when starting vm-install will ignore libvirt and just use Xen's 'xl' toolstack directly.
Also when you were asked,
Please specify the type of virtualized graphics hardware. 1: No Graphics Support 2: Paravirtualized Graphics Adapter [2] >
You should select '1' here and it won't start a graphical installation (should run in the same window as vm-install is running).
vm-install --use-xl

Please specify the type of operating system that will run within the virtual
machine. This defines many defaults, and helps decide how to start
paravirtualized operating systems.

Virtual machines can use paravirtualization or full virtualization.
Paravirtualization is faster but requires operating system support. Full
virtualization runs a broader range of operating systems but requires hardware
support. Which do you prefer?
1: Full virtualization
2: Paravirtualization
