Re: Paravirtualised drivers for fully virtualised domains

Yes it is the case (i.e. hvm guest w/o your patch is getting stuck the same way).
This happens with the latest version. I have only tried the RHEL4 or Debian Sarge
guest kernels before (both <= 2.6.9) and they work fine. Failure is also quite
intriguing - the guest just sort of goes into an infinite loop, no further
output on vnc console (or serial), nothing pops up in usual logs (qemu-dm.log,
xend.log, xend-debug.log ...). Kind of trumped by it.

Kindly let me know if anything comes to mind.

Thanks,
Himanshu
