Pkg xen devel - Jun 2013 - Bug#712661: xen-utils-common: xl start HVM domU instead of PV if disk placed on file

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
i changed toolkit to xl, after that i observe that my domU started as HVM
domains.
I found same problem here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2012/04/11/msg007216.html
When i manualy setup loop devices and specify it as disks in my VM conf file,
domU started as PV.

How have you determined that the guest is an HVM domain?

Note that the presence of a qemu process does not necessarily correspond
to HVM, since qemu can also under some circumstances be used to provide
a PV disk backend.

And just to clarify: Neither your dom0 not your domU are BSD? Both are
Debian Linux?

Please explain what you mean with "started as HVM". The existance of a
qemu-dm process does not necesarily mean HVM, but it can be used to
support stuff the kernel does not.

This is about NetBSD and not about HVM.
