I'm working on guests on a a Leap Xen server, rpm -qa kernel-default xen xen-4.6.0_08-404.1.x86_64 kernel-default-4.4.0-5.1.gb56b151.x86_64 I can set up a PV guest cat /etc/xen/vm/test_pv name = 'test' builder = 'linux' bootloader = 'pygrub' bootargs = '' disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/TEST_OS,xvda,w',] root = '/dev/xvdc1' vif = [ 'mac=00:16:4f:02:02:15, bridge=br0, vifname=vif0',] extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0 console=hvc0' on_crash = 'destroy' on_shutdown = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' vcpus = 4 xen_platform_pci = 0 I launch it xl create -c /etc/xen/vm/test_pv and it works okay. I want to switch the guest type from PV -> PVHVM. Reading docs on the Xen site http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Linux_PV_on_HVM_drivers I change the config to cat /etc/xen/vm/test_pvhvm name = 'test' builder = 'linux' bootloader = 'pygrub' bootargs = '' disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/TEST_OS,hda,w',] root = '/dev/hda1' vif = [ 'mac=00:16:4f:02:02:15, bridge=br0, vifname=vif0, model=e1000',] extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0 console=hvc0' on_crash = 'destroy' on_shutdown = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' vcpus = 4 xen_platform_pci = 1 But when I launch this one xl create -c /etc/xen/vm/test_pvhvm It gets only this far xl create -c pvhvm.cfg pyGRUB version 0.6 ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ openSUSE Leap 42.1 │ │ openSUSE Leap 42.1, with Linux 4.4.0-5.gb56b151-default │ │ openSUSE Leap 42.1, with Linux 4.4.0-5.gb56b151-default (recovery mode)│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Use the ^ and ┴ keys to select which entry is highlighted.
