Hi, I'm instresting with the PVH mode, is there any wiki available to boot up a PVH guest? I used the following source code to compile the xen and dom0. I have tried adding pvh=1 in xl.cfg file as pv mode, but guest still uses qemu device model. This patch series can also be pulled from this git tree: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/gdunlap/xen.git out/pvh-v15 The kernel code for PVH guests can be found here: git://oss.oracle.com/git/mrathor/linux.git pvh.v9-muk-1 (That repo/branch also contains a config file, pvh-config-file) Thanks.

As Roger said, sometimes qemu is used to provide disk backends even to PV guests. -George _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
