Hello

I'm fighting with a strange problem.
 
I've setup PCI to domU forwarding with the configuration/setup below. 
The problem:

If the USB device is unplugged and I start the the domU, the virtual machine 
comes up without problems.
The command lspci shows the controller:

00:00.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB Controller #1 (rev 02)

If I plug in the USB cable of the USB device it is found immediately, lsusb 
shows:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 057c:2000 AVM GmbH ISDN-Connector FRITZ!X
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

This is what I expected. So far so good!

But if I shutdown the virtuell machine (domU) and leave the USB device plugged 
in,
then the virt. machine crashes on the next boot.

I can repeat it so often as I want:

unplugged device -> start of domU -> plug in the the device -> everything is 
fine.
device pluged in -> start of domU -> crash.

Well, i tried 'swiotlb=force', as suggestet in the crash message, but only then 
the crash message is only different. 

Can anybody enlighten me a little bit where the problem might be??

Kind Regards
RPr

My environment:
DELL 2600 with 
01:1d.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82870P2 P64H2 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 04)

OS RedHat EL 5.2
with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen, pciback as a module, pci frontend = Y

USB device is 
---
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 057c:2000 AVM GmbH ISDN-Connector FRITZ!X

in /etc/modprobe.conf
---
options pciback hide=(0000:00:1d.0)

in a script:
---
modprobe pciback
#
SLOT=0000:00:1d.0
# Unbind a PCI network card from its network driver
echo -n $SLOT > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uhci_hcd/unbind
# And now bind it to the PCI Backend
echo -n $SLOT > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
echo -n $SLOT > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind


in the domU configuration:
---
pci = [ '0000:00:1d.0' ]
usb = 1
usbdevice = [ 'host:057c:2000' ] 

and start the domU crashes immediately:

PCI: Fatal: No PCI config space access function found
rtc: IRQ 8 is not free.
i8042.c: No controller found.

Fatal DMA error! Please use 'swiotlb=force'
