I made sure I specified xen-pciback instead of the older pciback ... not really sure which line in the configuration it goes on in /etc/default/grub - leaving it on the XEN line for now. I created /etc/modprobe.d/xen-pciback.conf to also reflect the same: options xen-pciback hide='(0000:00:1a.0)(0000:00:1b.0)(0000:00:1d.0)(0000:01:00.0)(0000:01:00.1)(0000:00:0b.0)' after making these changes, I updated the grub config file and rebooted. After reboot, none of the devices are hidden from dom0. I can forcibly unbind them from dom0 with a script, but that seems messy and some of the pci devices don't seem to like it (sata controller for example) Any suggestions? Gordon
