I thought I did; turns out I was wrong. Sorry for the noise.

Now I tried with "iommu=soft swiotlb=force", but this way the guest 
immediately disappears; it doesn't even start to produce console output.

# xm create -c f15-64bit-pv
Using config file "/etc/xen/f15-64bit-pv".
Using <class 'grub.GrubConf.GrubConfigFile'> to parse /grub/menu.lst
Started domain f15-64bit-pv

http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenPCIpassthrough says though:

     Bugs:

     # Starting the DomU using pvgrub with 'iommu=soft swiotlb=force'
     breaks pvgrub.

Perhaps that could be the reason. Removing "swiotlb=force" and keeping 
only "iommu=soft" crashes (?) the same way.

Thanks,
lacos
