Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Problem passing a HP-DAT (USB) device to domU
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.3.061214
'lspci -n' to find out what the numeric vendor-id and device-id is for the
device at PCI slot location 00:1d.7. Then add that vendor-id:device-id pair
to /etc/xen/xend-pci-permissive.sxp. When you create the domain that is
assigned the PCI device, you should see a warning appear in dmesg or
/var/log/messages about the fact that a domU is being allowed to write to
any part of a device's PCI config space. You can ignore that, but it shows
that the change to /etc/xen/xend-pci-permissive.sxp is working.
