For starters, I’m using OpenSUSE 11.3 and the Xen packages as such.
I’m trying to use pciback to hold a audio device or possibly a graphics card for pci passthrough xen if possible but my first trouble is that I have no way using the pciback.hide or xen-pciback.hide options with the kernel. such as documented here VTdHowTo - Xen Wiki
lsmod | grep pciback
doesn’t show anything until i’ve done
modprobe pciback
and then it brings up a couple lines showing it’s working
So as such I believe it to be an issue with pciback not being a loaded module at boot, but being new to opensuse and not the greatest linux user ever I’m not sure how to get this to happen?
I found this articule Assign a Dedicated Network Card or PCI Device to a Xen Virtual Machine | Novell User Communities that shows how you can add pciback to /etc/sysconfig/kernel and then do mkinitrd but for me I just get an error that the module can’t be found?
Much Thanks for any help that can be provided
