Are there any issues with making a specific piece of hardware (isdn card) available in a domain other than 0? I am tinkering with the kernel driver of an ISDN card and such things are fraught with crashes :) What is the procedure for doing this? Thanks James
Are there any issues with making a specific piece of hardware (isdn card) available in a domain other than 0? I am tinkering with the kernel driver of an ISDN card and such things are fraught with crashes. A crash in a xen domain would be much easier to recover from (that, and the machine I''m debugging on won''t reboot no matter what kernel options I pass). I realise that a rogue DMA write or something that crashes the pci bus would still bring the system down but it will still be an improvement over what I have now. What is the procedure for doing this? Thanks James
James, Most of it is in the manual. You first have to exclude the card from domain 0, then add it to the new domain. Beware though, there''s an error in the docs how to exclude a card: pci_dom0_hide=(xx.xx.x)(yy.yy.y)... should be physdev_dom0_hide=(xx:xx.x)(yy:yy.y)... I''m still trying to figure out how you can actually see (while being in the new domain) that the card is there.
