Well, that seems a good criteria, but there is something still unclear
to me.
I have deployed a Debian 6.0 64-bit machine on a XCP 1.6. Judging by
HVM-boot-policy parameter (empty) and PV-bootloader (pygrub) it's
running in PV mode. It boots Squeeze's default kernel, 2.6.32-5-amd64
(not 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64).
But, my VM's dmesg output mentions Xen, including this specific reference:
[ 0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on Xen
[ 0.000000] Xen version: 4.1.3 (preserve-AD)
How so?
Does Squeeze's linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 already includes Xen PV
support? I believed it was included since v3.0.
I'm quite sure it's the same stock kernel image, I has the same MD5 hash
as a regular Debian 6.0 64-bit installation I have around.
(BTW, didn't knew pygrub already worked with Grub2 config file,
apparently it does!)
I must say, I'm quite happy with this setup, so there is no need to do
anything else to convert my VM to PV mode, but I don't understand it.
Thank you.
