[fedora-virt] Why does -p in 'virt-install' fail with 'no support for xen' ? doesn't kvm support paravirtualization?

[Henry Pepper]

Hi

I seem unable to create a paravirtualized DomU, hvm works but '-p' fails with:

virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n alpha -r 512 -f
/var/kvm/gentoo.kvm -s 12 -c
/home/cadm/Downloads/install-x86-minimal-20100921.iso --vnc  --os-type
linux  --os-variant virtio26 --accelerate  --virt-type kvm -p
ERROR    Host does not support virtualization type 'xen'

Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

or is  hvm and pv not the same on kvm as on xen?

  Thanks

   Henry
