Thread-topic: [Xen-users] HVM and gplpv disk question
One thing that I did experience with the Centos 5.2 Xen packages and tap:aio 
was a complete crash of the server when attempting to start a linux PV domain 
with tap:aio. No explanations for the crash in any log files so for now I am 
staying away from it.

Hope other people have better luck, I guess I am sticking with loopback.

Can we up the ante on this?  Besides just confirming, can you please
post a confirmed working conf file for HVM instance?
