HVM guests work too on Tyan system (Next-Gen Opterons with AMD-V). The
problem with Linux HVM guests was having phy:...,hda and hdb:cdrom,
which caused hdb: DSC timeout errors and the installer from CD-image
never completed. Changing hdb:cdrom to hdc:cdrom resolved this. There
was no problem installing/running Solaris 10 and WinXP.
