Otherwise I would expect an emulated device only when I have hd? in the config and a pv device when I write xvd?.This works for both HVM and PVHVM (also mentioned on the wiki page): vif = [ 'mac=00:16:5e:02:07:45, bridge=xenbr0, model=e1000' ] So there's no need for "type=ioemu" option with xm/xend. You can switch between HVM and PVHVM with: xen_platform_pci=0|1 AFAIK changing xen_platform_pci=0|1 will switch rather more than just the NIC. It will switch your disk too, instantly causing your previously happily booting OS to fail to boot as the root device name changes. -- Alex Bligh _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
