Hi, Thanks for the patch! - I couldn't apply it automatically (not entirely=20 sure what to do with a git diff like that :) - and, the hvm.c part of patch = wouldn't apply cleanly anyway (too much difference). *Having said that* - I applied it by hand to my 10.1-R system, and it seems = to work perfectly. I've put the XENHVM and xenpci back in the kernel,=20 re-enabled veridian for that VM, and put 'hw.xen.disable_pv_nics=3D1' in = boot=20 loader. I now have a PV disk, but HVM NIC (re0) based machine - that's agile, and=20 works with OpenVPN and inter-VM routing. I can post the standard 'diff -u' patchset against 10.1 back to the list if = needed (I know other people had PV NIC issues and were using the same=20 non-agile "boot as HVM" fix for it). Cheers, -Karl
