hi, I want to know if there is any particular linux kernel version on DomU that is required for PCI pass through to work ? It is not clear from the link here http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPCIpassthrough. I want to use linux kernel 2.6.27.39 as my DomU. Can that be used for PCI pass through ? thanks and I appreciate any help. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I assume you want to use PCI passthrough with PV domU, not HVM.

This driver has been merged mainstream for the upcoming 2.6.37 kernel. For previous versions, you have following choices: 2.6.31.x & 2.6.32.x: use Jeremy''s git repo 2.6.33, 2.6.34, 2.6.35: use Konrad''s git repo Both git repo are listed in the wiki page you''re refering on.> I want to use linux kernel 2.6.27.39 as my DomU.
