what version of Debian Lenny should I be using for domU? I see below snippets in 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.

Can you please point me to a domU kernel binary with PV drivers compiled in it and works with XCP 0.1.1 pci passthrough?

Thanks

You seem to be using Lenny as your domU. I don't think the kernel used
in Lenny has pcifront support. You could try installing a more up to
date pvops kernel in your domU.

That is normal. The driver which is bound to the device is in domain 0
should be pciback not something else.

Ian.
