Depending on your hardware you will want to use hvm or pvm for
efficiency. (VT-x means hvm is more efficient). If running hvm on

What do you base this on?
Without VT-x, HVM doesn't even work, which means PV is only option.
With VT-x, PV still has higher performance as the drivers inside the guest
talk directly to the host.

My understanding is that if you're using pvgrub you wouldn't actually

PV on HVM will be best of both worlds, and drivers are available at
least for windows and linux, so I was taking pv drivers as a given.
Also, where I said VT-x read VT-d.

If you prefer HVM, then you create a partition and use the install-cd to
boot. After your install cd boots up, you partition your disk provided
by xen dom0 (Debian), chroot, unpack stage3 and install the system along
with the kernel and a bootloader. You can boot your Gentoo with pv
mail from Håkon Alstadheim for the example.

"eix xen" shows a few relevant results:

er. From there, the installation was the same as
installing on bare metal.

d use the install-cd
to boot. After your install cd boots up, you partition your disk
provided by xen dom0 (Debian), chroot, unpack stage3 and install the
system along with the kernel and a bootloader. You can boot your
Gentoo with pvgrub that will handle the booting to grub and it will
load the kernel.

'raw'? I'll have to look up what that does.
