Standard locations for the latest SuSE 10.3 xenpae kernel (substitute xen for 
xenpae if necessary for you):

find /lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae -name 'xen*'

/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae/kernel/drivers/xen
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae/kernel/drivers/xen/netfront/xennet.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae/kernel/drivers/xen/blkfront/xenblk.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae/kernel/drivers/xen/xenbus
/lib/modules/2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae/kernel/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_be.ko

My /boot/grub/menu.lst xen stanza:

title XEN -- openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.13-0.3
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /xen-pae.gz
    module /vmlinuz-2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae root=/dev/system/root vga=0x31a 
resume=/dev/system/swap showopts CPUFREQ=no
    module /initrd-2.6.22.13-0.3-xenpae

/etc/sysconfig/kernel should have a line that says:

# ramdisk that is created for unprivilegd Xen domains (domU); you may need
DOMU_INITRD_MODULES="xennet xenblk"

Not quite sure how they do it for dom0, but I never had any trouble with 
SuSE's xenpae kernel & initrd.
