I'm not aware of any that Linux supports that Xen doesn't support (although I could be wrong). IDE DMA support is perhaps one of the most common user problems with Xen.

You most likely have to recompile your kernel sources and add the appropriate support for your chipset. >I hope to get some first hand infos. > > > ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
