Hi there,
I have a question regarding PCI passthrough without xen-pciback in the
kernel.
Will it work to add the module to initrd
# echo xen-pciback >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
# update-initramfs -u -k all
with the well-known parameters in kernel command-line
# grep pciback /boot/grub/grub.cfg
module /vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae placeholder root=/dev/<root>
ro xen-pciback.hide=(02:00.0)
?
I'm not sure how to understand the second sentence on
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Assign_Hardware_to_DomU_with_PCIBack_as_module
| If the Dom0 XenLinux kernel is built with pciback as a module,
| attempting to use the kernel command-line parameter pciback.hide
| won't work. This includes loading pciback in an initrd.
If the above described way works, could it be added as a third option?

Option 3
Targeted at distributions using initrd like Debian Wheezy.
a) Add the module to initrd
# echo xen-pciback >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
# update-initramfs -u -k all
b) Use the well-known parameters in kernel command-line
# grep pciback /boot/grub/grub.cfg
module /vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae placeholder root=/dev/<root>
ro xen-pciback.hide=(02:00.0)

Thanks & kind regards
Paul
