As Per suggested, i'll try on this list as it is more on-topic.
I grew up with XEN, so i rather stick with it (inertia ;-) but if it isn't maintained anymore, i'll ditch xen and start looking at LXC (for linux) and KVM (for non-linux).

ps1 no pending updates/reboot, rpm -qa reports: kernel-xen-3.4.11-2.16.1.x86_64 patterns-openSUSE-xen_server-12.2-5.5.1.x86_64 xen-4.2.0_03-210.8.x86_64 xen-doc-html-4.2.0_03-210.8.x86_64 xen-doc-pdf-4.2.0_03-210.8.x86_64 xen-kmp-desktop-4.2.0_03_k3.4.11_2.16-210.8.x86_64 xen-libs-4.2.0_03-210.8.x86_64 xen-tools-4.2.0_03-210.8.x86_64
Why are you using 4.2.0? The Xen shipped in 12.2 is 4.1.3, and works just fine. I even have esoteric features like VGA passthrough working. If you are having trouble with stock 12.2 plus updates, you can file a bug report.
As for maintenance, Xen is very well maintained on openSUSE. I have many production openSUSE Xen machines and when I file bug reports, issues are usually solved pretty quickly.
At a meeting, i was informed that LXC from the addon repo was significantly improved. I'm removing the addon, and will try XEN again. will report back on it.

As said, i would report back. It seems i met another pygrub-"issue", If you start with the yast2 module, remove the default disk and 1) add a bootable cdrom and _next_ 2) add you boot/root disk, you get a problem where the system starts to install but fails after the initial reboot. However if you swap them, eg: 1) _first_ add the disk that will hold /boot, 2) _next_ add the iso image all works fine... Seems it was known on the xen-users-list....
