[Xen-users] module trouble

[Stephan Jong <stephan.de.jong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A couple of questions that I'm not certain about even after searching the wiki 
and this mailinglist. Maybe someone of you can put me on the right path.
I read in the installation notes on the wiki the advice to compile *-xen kernel 
instead of a xen0 and xenU to have wider hardware support. I guess this advice 
is just for xen 3.0, correct? At least with 2.0.7 it does not seem to work. 
I've been running for a couple of months 2.0.7 ok, but without support for some 
of my hardware (e.g. 2 saa7134 tv-cards). I haven't switched to 3.0 yet because 
I understand 3.0 does not (yet?) support hiding devices from domain 0 to be 
used direct by a guest domain.Correct?
Does anyone know if there is a different possibility to do this in 3.0 or when 
it is planned to be supported?

Can anyone point me to a howto to add modules to the kernel for certain 
hardware. Or how to apply the xen patch to the kernel source of a distribution 
(already containing additions for a lot of hardware) instead of the pristine 
source? I tried to do this before in 2.0.6 but that did not work out very well. 
Apparently I screwed up the config file, so during the compilation I got a lot 
of questions that I did not know the answer to (do I need that or not?).

I hope somebody can help me, thanx in advance
regards Stephan
