I still have to update the documentation, but I went

a "virtmode" command to the Xen Shell so you can switch your
existing VMs between PV and PVH mode and try it out.
I see that 4 of you already tried it out. There haven't been any
screams yet. A new order also came in so that got set up as PVH from
the start too.
I have noticed that the kernel command line seems to need
"console=hvc0" adding to it if you want to see any of the boot up
output on the Xen Shell console, which is a change from when it was
running in PV mode. At least that is what I saw on Debian 10
(buster).
On Debian/Ubuntu that goes in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX bit of
/etc/default/grub, so:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=hvc0"
and then issue the "update-grub" command.
Cheers,
Andy
