I have a multiboot system with opensuse 11.0 and opensuse 11.1. All X86_64 I creqted a VM on opensuse 11.0 moth ago . This M is located on a physical disk

I installed the opensuse 11.1 xen and booted the xen kernel. I use yast to create VM.

a) I can create a VM from a physical disk with the option " I have a disk or disk image with an installed OS" ==> I use the installed opensuse 11.0 VM

b)I cannot create a new VM where I want to install the OS on another physical disk when I select the virtual disk I cannot select a physical disk Screen input source "phy:/dev/cciss/c0d5" protocol "phy" size (GB) "xxx" if receive an error message "The installation source is using an unsupported protocol." and in the error detail "ftp://, http://, nfs://, smb=//, dev:/"

The dvd is also refused but strange when I change the device the size is correctly refreshed.

Protocol dev cannot by selected

the config file for the "Old" VM is as follow ( imported in a)
