HI.

Yes, I know, I meant PVHVM (I was the impression - after reading the
docs - that PVHVM can be turned on by using hvm builder and pvh=1 in the
config file)

On the windows guest I use the xen windows pv drivers , and I have
4.13.0-36-generic #40~16.04.1-Ubuntu kernel on the host.

I use this (the # lines were part of my old 4.9 config):

name = "etit-accounting"
type = "hvm"
#device_model_stubdomain_override=1
#builder='hvm'

memory=4097
shadow_memory=32

disk=[
        '/data/xen/vms/etit-accounting/disk.raw,raw,hda,w'
        ]

vif=[
'bridge=xenbr4,ip=10.0.4.2,mac=00:16:3E:00:16:4F,model=e1000,type=vif' ]


# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
boot="c"

on_reboot='restart'
on_crash='preserve'
on_poweroff='destroy'

xen_platform_pci=1

independent_wallclock= 1
vcpus=2
cpus="2-3"
superpages=1
#hap=1
#pvh=1

viridian=0

acpi=1
apic=1
localtime=1
keymap='hu'

pae=1
nx=1

usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

audio=0
ne2000=0
vga="stdvga"
vncunused=0
vnc=1
vncdisplay=4
vnclisten='10.0.254.2'
sdl=0
opengl=0

It works only without that. with that, I get (xl dmesg)
