Hi Pasi,
and thank you for your reply.

Currently I use Debian squeeze as Dom0,
I use a kernel from the devel/xen-pciback-0.6.1 branch at 
git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git. It is a 3.0.0-rc4 
based kernel.

I have been trying for the last day to get some other Dom0 kernel to 
work but I have so far been unable to get the pciback module to work on 
those kernels (such as the master branch or stable/2.6.39.x). I do 
prefer a fairly late kernel to get problem support for the motherboard 
and cpu.

I have been using a few different Intel drivers, the ones included in 
Windows 7 which are from March and newer ones ( from mid August) but 
with the same result.

I have been trying with a few different boot options, but the last try 
was with the most basic configuration possible. (included as grub.conf.gz)

Also included is the somewhat messy vm config file, xen_htpc1.cfg.gz

I have included startup logs for two different runs, one with Windows 
standard vga drivers (taged with svga_) and with Intel drivers (taged 
with intel_). Not sure if that gives any further clues.

I also added info from lspci -vv.

Did you try latest upstream Linux 3.1-rc3+ ? it includes xen-pciback.

Ok. Maybe Intel developers can comment which driver version should work with win7.

Hi

I have now tried with the new 3.1.0-rc3 kernel (and latest 4.2 XEN), 
with the exact same result. It passthrough works fine before loading the 
proper drivers, but hangs at startup with correct drivers.

I forgot to mention that I did try to install Win 7 on this computer 
without XEN and everything worked fine, so the drivers provided by Intel 
do work.

Um, try the #master brach - it has been updated to 3.0.3.

But the problem is likely not with the kernel - but rather with the
QEMU toolstack. I should one of these days try to pass in some form
of video card to see how it fares.
