I'm working on guests on a a Leap Xen server,

 rpm -qa kernel-default xen
  xen-4.6.0_08-404.1.x86_64
  kernel-default-4.4.0-5.1.gb56b151.x86_64

I can set up a PV guest

 cat /etc/xen/vm/test_pv
  name = 'test'
  builder = 'linux'
  bootloader = 'pygrub'
  bootargs = ''
  disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/TEST_OS,xvda,w',]
  root = '/dev/xvdc1'
  vif = [ 'mac=00:16:4f:02:02:15, bridge=br0, vifname=vif0',]
  extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0 console=hvc0'
  on_crash = 'destroy'
  on_shutdown = 'destroy'
  on_reboot = 'restart'
  vcpus = 4
  xen_platform_pci = 0

I launch it

 xl create -c /etc/xen/vm/test_pv

and it works okay.

I want to switch the guest type from PV -> PVHVM.

Reading docs on the Xen site

 http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Linux_PV_on_HVM_drivers

I change the config to

 cat /etc/xen/vm/test_pvhvm
  name = 'test'
  builder = 'linux'
  bootloader = 'pygrub'
  bootargs = ''
  disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VG0/TEST_OS,hda,w',]
  root = '/dev/hda1'
  vif = [ 'mac=00:16:4f:02:02:15, bridge=br0, vifname=vif0, model=e1000',]
  extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0 console=hvc0'
  on_crash = 'destroy'
  on_shutdown = 'destroy'
  on_reboot = 'restart'
  vcpus = 4
  xen_platform_pci = 1

But when I launch this one

 xl create -c /etc/xen/vm/test_pvhvm

It gets only this far

 xl create -c pvhvm.cfg

     Use the ^ and ┴ keys to select which entry is highlighted.
     Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the
     commands before booting, 'a' to modify the kernel arguments
     before booting, or 'c' for a command line.

     Will boot selected entry in  7 seconds

I'm sure I'm missing some install and set up.

Any ideas what?  I'd appreciate a hand.

Thanks.
