AFAIK the support for Xen would not be available in CentOS 8 (Red Hat has dropped the support). You can see the differences between the modes here: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview#Guest_Types PVH seems still to be the fastest one... You can use the kernel if you add the

Hi, In general, PV tends not to be supported in newer distribution releases. This is mostly due to HVM performance and flexibility nowadays, which just was not the case back in the days when PV ruled. I am curious why you are trying PV. -yoctozepto On Sat, Sep 19, 2020 at 6:41 PM
