woops - I'm just damm stupid...

trying your 'vnconfig' method, and the error still being there, I
re-read the whole HOWTO and checked my VM configuration file...
the 'kernel = ' file was pointing to the conf file (and not a kernel
file) }:-(

now that's it's pointing to a *** real *** kernel file, it is much
better. the install process ran, saw and formatted the disk.

and BTW, using 'file: ' does work now my conf file is correct.
maybe the patches you talked about where submitted.

thanks for the help and sorry for the noise.
