So PV definition is the wrong one, it is a full virtualized and optimized
guest, i use Xen-PV-Drivers-0.9.12-pre13.exe for reaching the aim, anyway
can someone share his own configuration, i would like to compare with mine
that is the following:

kernel          = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder         = 'hvm'
memory          = '2048'
vcpus           = 4
arc_libdir      = 'lib64'
device_model    = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
hvm             = 1
#Params
#acpi=0
#apci=0
#pae=0

#EVENTS
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'destroy'

# Disks
disk =
['file:/root/vms/win2k8/disk.img,ioemu:xvda,w','phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r']
# Hostname
name = 'win2k8'

# Networking
vif = ['mac=00:11:2e:78:34:45, bridge=xenbr0, type=']

# Behaviour
boot='dc'
vfb = ['type=vnc,vncunused=1']
vnc=1
vncviewer=1


Thanks a lot,
Francesco Gallo
