Sorry Ian,

I was reading the email I've sent you some days ago and I've found it
terribly confusing, so I am writing back again.

I am following these instructions to verify which kind of guest it is:

http://serverfault.com/questions/511923/determine-which-guest-is-running-on-xen-hvm-or-pv-guest

From them it results I am running a PV-HVM, Xen is 4.4, please
let me know if that makes any sense since I wanna see if I can
understand something about what I am doing.

I am specifically curious about the PV-HVM category since I thought it'd be 
possible
to setup PV *or* HVM guest and I wasn't aware of any PV *and* HVM.

All attached again, including some files missing yesterday.
