[Xen-users] Xen PVHVM DomU's hdX+xvdX redundancy 'confusing' to guests OS's isntaller. An OS, or Xen, issue?

[PGNet Dev <pgnet.dev@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm launching a Distro installer (openSUSE) in a Xen 4.6.x PVHVM guest.

IIUC, PVHVM maintains disk identity as both hdX and xvdX.

It appears that both those identities are passed to the Guest.  In the 
case of openSUSE's (graphical) installer, it appears to cause confusion 
-- in that redundant choices are presented AND selected for drives to be 
formatted, grub boot order to be traversed, etc.
Here's the thread I posted at 'opensuse-virtual' ML with a bit more 
detail, & a screenshot of what's occurring:
  https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-virtual/2016-03/msg00001.html

What's not clear to me is where there needs to be a 'fix' (or cleanup) 
-- in Xen, or in the distro's installer?
