You'r right. I forget ARCH=xen under 2.6.12.6, which is different from 2.6.16-rc2.
I prepare to write a dma access.  But it often makes kernel panic. It seems to get an
error machine address. I have tried virt_to_bus.

Did you compile your module with ARCH=xen? virt_to_phys has completely different
implementation for ARCH xen vs regular i386?

I write a very simple module to test memory address translation.
When I install the module under xen 3.0, kernel panic. But when
I install it under xen3.0 & kernel 2.6.16-rc2, it can work well.

My question is: Is there a different way to translate virtual address
into physical address under Xen 3.0?
thanks for help.
