Hi, I am new to Xen and have a Xen box running gentoo as the Dom0. Xen version 3.0.2 from portage on a linux-2.6.16.28-xen kernel. I have a Intel D processor with the Virtualisation feature and a windows XP domU installed. All runs well and I am most impressed with Xen. I have read that you can assign a PCI device to a particular domU. How is this done? Can the same be done with a USB device ? A simple pointer to a doc would suffice, but all help/comments are welcome. Thanks Tonino _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com lists.xensource.com/xen-users

However, AFAIK this work[1] only for para virtualized and not for fully virtualized domains.[2]> A simple pointer to a doc would suffice, but all help/comments are > welcome.wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Assign_hardware_to_DomU_with_PCIBack_as_module cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html#SECTION03230000000000000000 Regards, Daniele [1] Should work.
