Independently from lspci, what happens if you try to start a VM with one of those devices assigned? Dario -- This happens because I choose it to happen!

Yeah, if you do lspci -vvv you'll see that driver in use changes to xen-pciback. -- Pasi -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen

I added a file: /etc/modprobe.d/xen-pciback.conf that contains one line: options xen-pciback hide=(00:14.2)(01:05.1) thinking that would accomplish the same thing but it doesn't work for me. The purpose of the hide is for the initial domain drivers to not usurp the devices. Meaning that they do not load and use the drivers. Following a reboot lspci shows the devices are still there. Right. They will be present in the initial domain. They are just not in usage. Am I missing a step or is recompiling the kernel the only alternative?
