Sorry, I meant to include the diff for the .spec file for the 
xen-4.1.2_05-1.1.1.src.rpm:

root@Dell4550 12/14/11  3:56PM:/usr/src/packages
[503] > diff xen.spec SPECS/xen.spec 
39c39
< %define with_dom0_support 1

< ln -s /boot/config*xen .config

And yes, my 32 bit suse dom0 boots just fine, and can start my suse 11.4 pv 
guest. Of course, since suse isn't supporting 32 bit any more, you've got no 
one to complain to if subsequent versions of xen stop working, since they 
don't test 32 bit now.
