Hello I am trying to passthrow video card in xen.
I am using xen 4.1 fedora 17 and Nvidia 9400GT
pciback supported by kernel as module
When I pass xen-pciback.hide="(01:00.0)" param to grub I got error in dmesg
So I removed it from grub and created modprobe.d/zzz.conf
Then I created initramfs.
Result was: xen-pciback wasn't loaded, nouveau was loaded
I unloaded nouveau and loaded xen-pciback.
I started windows and found video card, installed driver.
But video card marked with yellow color, and I don't have picture on it.
It is a problem of my method "rmmod nouveau, modprobe xen-pciback" or problem of video.

I have build initrafs with dracut, but it doesn't contain xen-pciback.ko
[root@DeltaS boot]# lsinitrd initramfs-3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64.img |grep pci
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51544 Jan 16 2012 usr/lib64/libpci.so.3.1.9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 3 20:22 usr/lib64/libpci.so.3 -> libpci.so.3.1.9

How does he know to include xen-pciback.ko, i mentioned it in modprobe.d.
Is it sufficiently?
