Hi,

I'm trying to get a USB dongle working in a windows XP HVM DomU. The dom0 is 
a SLES10 sp2, running xen 3.2.0 with these rpm's installed:
xen-libs-3.2.0_16718_02-0.5
xen-tools-ioemu-3.2.0_16718_02-0.5
xen-3.2.0_16718_02-0.5
xen-tools-3.2.0_16718_02-0.5
xen-kmp-smp-3.2.0_16718_02_2.6.16.57_0.9-0.5
kernel-xen-2.6.16.57-0.9

when I plug in the dongle, in the dom0, I see the following in dmesg:
usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 4
usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
usb 3-2: new device found, idVendor=0529, idProduct=0001
usb 3-2: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 3-2: Product: Hardlock USB 1.02
usb 3-2: Manufacturer: AKS
usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice


lsusb in the dom0 shows me the dongle:

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0529:0001 Aladdin Knowledge Systems HASP v0.06

therefore I added this to the /etc/xen/vm/windowsxp-2 configuration file:

usb=1
usbdevice='host:0529:0001'


when I then xm create the domU, then in /var/log/xen/xend.log I see the 
following:

[2008-04-04 16:42:46 4654] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:2211) Storing VM details: 
{'on_xend_stop': 'ignore', 'shadow_memory': '4', 'uuid':

'on_crash': 'destroy', 'xend/restart_count': '0', 'vcpus': '2', 'vcpu_avail':
'3', 'image': '(hvm

(monitor 0) (nographic 0) (pae 1) (extid 0) (rtc_timeoffset 0) (serial pty)

(vncunused 1) (xauthority /root/.Xauthority) (pci ()) (guest_os_type 
default) (notes (SUSPEND_CANCEL 1)))', 'name': 'windowsxp-2'}

so the domU starts up successfully, but the dongle doesn't show up as a USB 
device in the hardware list in the windows domU.

I searched the archives, but only found posts regarding older versions of 
xen, so I guess in theory, it should work.

Is there anything else I could have missed to check to get the dongle 
working in the domU?

kind regards
Sebastian
