I don't use kernel-modules in my Xen domu's (All are PV). I wonder if compiling them into the kernel might help. Or, try loading the modules listed above and see if that helps. (Not sure if you can see an immediate change though) I have attached the .config for one of my domains. It also has support for a passed-through sound-card. You won't need that part. :) Please note, I do use the following kernel: sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.34-r4 Which kernel are you using? >> Also, if you have further difficulty, the xen-users list might be a >> better >> port of call as there are plenty of people there who use XenServer. >> http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-users > > Thanks for the pointer! > >> -- >> Joost Roeleveld >> >> PS.
