Re: [Xen-users] pci device not owned by pciback.

["Sergio Charpinel Jr." <sergiocharpinel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok James,

I think that you forgot some steps. Do this, renaming your pci device,
initrd and kernel names:

# echo "options pciback hide=(41:00.0)" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
# cd /boot
# cp initrd-2.6.27.19-5-xen initrd-2.6.27.19-5-xen.save
# mkinitrd -f --with=pciback --preload=pciback initrd-2.6.27.19-5-xen
2.6.27.19-5-xen

You could also try to specify your SCSI driver name in
/etc/modules.conf, before making the image.

Hope this helps.
