Solution
This isn’t correct solution put it helped
[root@bacula ~]# /etc/init.d/libvirtd stop
Stopping libvirtd daemon: [ OK ]

virbr0 interface can’t be up anymore.
let’s force it down:
[root@bacula ~]# ifconfig virbr0 down
[root@bacula ~]# ifconfig

now I thought it is good idea to take peth0 down too:
[root@bacula ~]# ifconfig peth0 down
Read from remote host bacula: Connection reset by peer
Connection to bacula closed.
Ok, I asked to restart machine After restart

Starting install… good
Problem 2
Unable to determine geometry of file/device |
| /dev/xvda. You should not use Parted unless |
| you REALLY know what you’re doing!
Invalid argument during read on /dev/xvda
Solution 2
I have created /var/xen/xen1 empty file before installing guest system. Don’t pre-create file to guest! virt-install will ask from you file and size and will create it.
