Hi Bas,

Thanks for replying. It would be useful to keep this discussion on the
list so that other people can benefit if they have a similar problem and
search the list.

Could you let me know what kernel version and xen version you are using.
Also, what hardware are you using for your backend? I am especially
interested in the motherboard, CPU and TV cards that you're using.

Ultimately, I would like to be able to pass the DVB cards to the DomU
and run the backend in a DomU. This would make upgrading easier since I
could take a copy of the current myth backend, upgrade it and if
something doesn't work I could simply boot up the original DomU. :-)

Regards,

Steve.
