Re: [Xen-users] install hvm with sda?

["lee hartley" <leeslist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks alot for the info! I will try the archive route to see if
things will work, my install stops during the partitioning...is that
where yours had issue? I would like to verify that it runs at all, but
in reality, I need it to perform the install to get the ideal use out
of it...is it possible to install into paravirt. and then change to
hvm...I am new to the xen style (we currently use vmware), so don't
know if that makes sense

thanks a lot for taking the time to write!
