Thread-topic: [Xen-users] XenKernelFeatures wiki page added
>From http://wiki.debian.org/Xen:

The default Lenny kernel is the newer paravirt_ops version (2.6.26), which does 
not function as a dom0 (except for the -xen variants, which have dom0 support 
but also some issues running as domU (please clarify?). It will also not 
support PCI passthrough in a domU. For PCI passthrough, you have to run the 
2.6.18 etch kernel as both dom0 and domU.



So it seems like it's the Etch Xen kernel - I was never able to do PCI passthru 
on stock Lenny Xen kernel, so now I know at least why. :)


Regards

Matej

Good catch. I think etch has pciback/front. I just updated the wiki.
Someone please let me know if it's not like that :)
