UEK provides support for PVHVM guests on Oracle VM. The default
is to present only PV drivers when running in an HVM guest. To
run kernel-uek
fully hardware virtualized,
including the drivers, add the parameter
xen_emul_unplug=never
to the boot
parameters in /etc/grub.conf
, for example:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-300.2.1.el6uek ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 xen_emul_unplug=never
Adding this parameter makes the kernel also present the
emulated drivers as previously done, such as the
8139cp
network driver.
