You can in the /etc/xen/*config files pick either ide or scsi emulation for
xen. Is there a preference for scsi? I've always used ide so far, since in
general that gives less problems and dependancies (eg on initrd features).
Is one faster/better/more reliable/ then the other?
In general, I'd suggest doing neither and instead using the LANANA
approved /dev/xvd devices.
If you pretend with either IDE or SCSI, the xen block driver does
heinous things with stealing block majors and I wouldn't expect this
support to stay as some of the Xen drivers start to move upstream
