Yes, you should remove the ioemu from the VIF in the domU configuration file. You can try the tap:aio device type with Xen and see if that works with the GPL PV drivers - I haven't been able to get that work, though. I use the loop devices and it works fine.

When I load the gplpv drivers into a Windows 2003 instance, I notice that I have to remove ioemu from the vif. When I do that, it works just fine. The disk images (which are file based) are still being loaded through the loop driver (which is requiring me to add a bunch of loop devices on our test box). Is this the proper way to do this or should I be tweaking the config files for the disk as well? If so, what should that look like?
Adding the loop devices isn't a problem but if I call tap:aio is faster than loop.
