You will need hda for hvm on dom0 side for the bios emulation. In later kernels on domU side (2.6.38+) 
you will need hda on dom0 side (in xmconfig.cfg) and xvda on domU side (in fstab) or simply uuids to 
get along.
That doesnt affect your win2008 HVMs, of course, but as i said, you will need 
hda for bios emulation.

Sincerly
