Hi!

As dom0 I'm running Ubuntu Hardy (Server x86_64) with xen 3.3 from backports.

Reason to using xen 3.3 is that I could get Intrepid stock kernel to work as domu with xen 3.2.

Now the problem I have is that I can't passthrough PCI-devices to my domu.

If I run lspci in the domu nothing is returned.

I've tried to use the kernel from Hardy (2.6.24-21-xen) and stock kernel from Intrepid (2.6.27-7-server). Without any difference.

If I use Xen 3.2 and kernel (2.6.24-21-xen) pci passthrough work.

What could be wrong with PCI passthrough in xen 3.3?
What could I do to solve the problem?

Some additional information that may help;

Dom0 is booted with this text in grub.conf
