Ah, this I do not know as I've only ever used Xen in
paravirtualisation mode. It wouldn't surprise me if they behaved
differently.
All BitFolk VPSes are currently PV-mode Xen domUs.
Cheers,

But on a reboot, Xen never actually destroys the
virtual machine, it
just starts it again. That means it will have the same kernel
(pygrub is never run), same amount of RAM, most probably the same
size disk devices as well (I have never tested that bit).
Does that apply for domUs virtualised under HVM too? I thought a reboot on
an HVM domU went all the way back to the BIOS.
