I have a thread I can mail you with a very sweet walkthrough if you like.

Quick and dirty:

1.       Deduce the device ID with lspci

2.       Load pciback early with a new initrd:

a.       mkinitrd -f --preload=pciback /etc/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

3.       Edit your /etc/modprobe.conf to hide the device in question:

a.       options pciback hide=(xx:xx.x)

4.       Edit your pv config file, add:

a.       pci=[‘0000:xx:xx.x’]

 

Voila,

jlc
