Re: [Xen-users] domU hardware access



What I'd like to see is some documentation describing the difference
between hiding PCI devices in Xen2 and Xen3 and how to upgrade from Xen2
to Xen3 on a host which hides PCI devices in dom0.

I have a firewall/router which uses Xen2 at the moment and I'd like to
be able to upgrade it to Xen3. However whenever I've tried to set up a
Xen3 box on the bench to hide PCI devices so far it has not even come
close to working...
