Good morning, I need to use pciback.hide to hide a pci card because I want to pci passthrough that card to a domU. My hardware neither supports Intel-Vt-d nor AMD's IOMMU. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work in Centos 54 anymore. I guess it doesn't work because it is not compiled into the kernel, but as a module. I got the following error in dmesg and the pci device is still listed in dom0 in lspci. Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/dom0/root pciback.hide=(09:04.0)) Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/dom0/root pciback.hide=(09:04.0) Unknown boot option `pciback.hide=(09:04.0)': ignoring I also tried to update initrd to include the module but got the same error message as above. mkinitrd --with=pciback /boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen_pcipt 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen title CentOS (2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen PCI PT) root (hd1,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/dom0/root pciback.hide=(09:04.0) module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen_pcipt Is there any option to use pciback.hide kernel parameter without compiling a custom kernel?
