I just upgraded to newly released Xen 3.3.1 hypervisor but unfortunately it didn't seem to help with my problem.. I still get the exact same errors with
ata_piix module:

I don't think the problem is ata_piix, I've tried the pv_ops dom0
kernel on a Dell Optiplex 755 and unbranded system with gigabyte
motherboard, on both systems none of the storage devices worked,
including ahci, ata_piix, I even tried putting the root filesystem on
a usb storage device but that too is broken, I think interrupt routing
is not working at all perhaps?

I'm going to do more testing this weekend...

Hello.

I just did some more testing too..

I upgraded to the latest patches for Linux 2.6.29-rc1-tip

log of xen+kernel from serial console:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/pv_ops-dom0-bootlog-5-xen331-linux-2.6.29-rc1.txt

(XEN) Command line: dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com1=19200,8n1 console=com1 Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/vg00/lv01 console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen pci=nomsi

And the failing part of the log is here:

xen_allocate_pirq: returning irq 30 for gsi 18
xen_set_ioapic_routing: irq 30 gsi 18 vector 160 ioapic 0 pin 18 triggering 0 polarity 1
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 30
xen: PCI device 0000:00:1f.1 pin 1 -> irq 30
xen: disable pci device 0000:00:1f.1
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.29-rc1-tip #3
That means that the ata-piix driver decided it was unhappy for some reason, and decided to fali with ENODEV. It would be very interesting to know what part of the device probe failed. From the Xen perspective, it looks like everything went OK.

I just did

#define ATA_DEBUG
#define ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG
#define ATA_IRQ_TRAP

in include/linux/libata.h

and recompiling now.. let's see if that helps.


Here we go:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/pv_ops-dom0-bootlog-6-xen331-linux-2.6.29-rc1-atadebug.txt

piix_init: pci_register_driver

xen: PCI device 0000:00:1f.1 pin 1 -> irq 30

ata_port_alloc: ENTER
ata_port_alloc: ENTER

__ata_port_freeze: ata4294967295 port frozen

I don't know whether being "frozen" is good, bad or indifferent, but that's a might strange ata interface number. I don't suppose you have 4 billion ata interfaces on your machine?
