I have an old windows NT machine, that I would like to virtualize under CentOS and xen. The problem is, that the machine has an old PCI card that is used for some sensor control. I tried to google the topic, but there isn't any useful tutorial, how to do this under CentOS. What I found out is, that I need a machine that supports the Intel VT-d technology and at least XEN 3.3. Does someone on this list have any real world experience with this?

I use the xen packages from gitco.de/linux and absolutely no problem so far, but I haven't played with PCIPasstru. I've only used para-v so far with images from stacklet.com. It is not hard to setup. It may be easier for you to just follow the tutorials on wiki.centos.org: wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingHVMDomU wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/MoveNative2DomU Lucian
