Description Jón Fairbairn 2006-07-25 17:21:13 UTC

Description of problem:
The kernel config for kernel-xen0 (and -xenU) contains the line

# CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND is not set

so that one cannot assign pci devices to a guest domain. As far as I know,
enabling this option shouldn't cause problems...

2.6.17-1.2157_FC5

Comment 1 Jón Fairbairn 2006-07-25 18:13:37 UTC

I should probably be referring to kernel-xen.
Same applies.

Comment 2 Stephen Tweedie 2006-09-20 17:17:37 UTC

$ grep PCI.*FRONT kernel-2.6.18-x86_64-xen.config
CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND=y

in latest rawhide (tested and working in i686 at least.)
