Hi Carolin,

thanks for your fast answer. I looked for this option to activate in all
scripts beeing located in /etc/xen/, but i didnt found it :-(
(maybe you can give me a more detailed description where it is located)

But I found another solution for the problem which also works quite fine:

Add this lines to your /etc/modprobe.conf:

install forcedeth /sbin/modprobe pciback ; /sbin/modprobe --first-time
- --ignore-install forcedeth
(forcedeth is used for my nvidia-eth-controler, maybe one will need skge
for other controlers)

options pciback hide (0000:00:04.0)
(passes the hide params to pcihide)

For more information see:
