Re: [Xen-users] e1000: probe of 0000:00:00.0 failed with error -5

Have you tried adding this line do a domU's modprobe.conf?

Tried that now, doesn't seem to have any effect. Whenever the "e1000"
module loads (either automatically when the DomU starts or when I
rmmod/modprobe it after changing the alias line) I'm still seeing the
probe-failed message.
I've even added in (2) 56k modems, passed in via pciback/pcifront and
they're showing up fine in the lspci output. Which I think is more
evidence that pciback is working properly.
At this point, I'm considering configuring the Dom0 to grab the Intel
NICs, bond them, and put them on a 2nd bridge (xenbr1) before passing
them as a vif to the DomU. The performance hit shouldn't be too bad
since it's only a T1 line on the external side of the Intel NICs and
this is a dual-core AM2 CPU.
The open question for that solution is whether it's better to bond NICs
in Dom0 or pass them in via pciback/pcifront and let the DomU do the
bonding. If I need to bond in DomU, then I have to get the e1000 driver
working with pciback/pcifront.
(There was a really old thread where someone ran into this issue, but
the mailing list archives don't give enough information to solve the
issue. Nor do the follow-up posts give enough of a pointer as to where
to find the solution information.)
