PCI ATM NIC passthrough to domU

PCI ATM NIC passthrough to domU

[mdlabriola]

Anyone here ever pass a PCI ATM NIC to a domU?  I need to do just that, and the Marconi HE155 I've got doesn't quite work.  I can hide it from the dom0, it seems to get snagged by domU's pcifront, but the he driver complains a little and then all the atm deamons fail to initialize the device.  I'm at home w/out the logfiles at the moment...

Same results with pv_ops dom0 as the old 2.6.18-xen dom0.  DomU is 2.6.18-xen.

I'm hoping to work around this issue quickly by just purchasing a different PCI ATM NIC, so please brag about your success stories!

-Mike

Well the logs would definitely help. 

Make sure you grab "xm log", "xm dmesg", "dmesg" and possibly 
/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog from dom0.

Also post any "dmesg" entries from the domU.

Is domU the latest version from http://xenbits.xen.org/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ?

And as well, lspci -vvv from your Dom0 and DomU.
