However that might just be fully emulated on qemu which might or might not help rather than paravirtualization... My apologies if I err ^^ been a while since I had a system without available an vmx/svm interface on the CPU.... I know for a fact that libvirt doesn't support PV guests under KVM... virt-install (which uses libvirt) will refuse to try it etc. I'll test it later this week to satisfy my curiosity ;) James
