Description of problem: If you run the command: # xm pci-list-assignable-devices on a freshly booted dom0, you'll get the error: ls: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/: No such file or directory Unfortunately, it's not very informative. I think we should either: 1) modprobe pciback when we start up xend, or, if that is deemed to dangerous, 2) at least tell the user "you need to modprobe pciback for this to work"
