[CentOS] C8 Questions

I have all my issues posted on the forum - https://centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=71934

I'm using Xen and it seems to be an issue with pvgrub and grub2. No matter what I do, it always boots into the grubdom> prompt.

I made the changes suggested in the thread but can't get past that. HVM is fine but slow. PV just won't work.

 
Thank you,
Steffan Cline

    Hi Steffan,
    I run my VMs on c7 using qemu-kvm + libvirt + virt-manager and the same on
    a slackware 14.2 without any problem.
    
    What error/problem do you receive?
