Hello,

I've added the pciback.hide option but it doesn't seem to work.

[root@gilboa-home-srv gilboa]# cat /etc/grub.conf | grep xen0 -A2

What am I missing?



OK. I think I found the problem. Missing configuration in 2133 kernel?

[gilboa@gilboa-home-srv ~]$ cat /boot/config-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xen0  |
grep XEN | grep PCI
# CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND is not set
