[Xen-users] Problem with secondary sata controller

[Daniel Shub <Daniel.Shub@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having problems getting my 64-bit Debian Squeeze (Xen version 4.0, Linux 
Kernel 2.6.32) dom0 to recognize a harddrive connected to a secondary sata 
controller. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 and has two sata 
controllers. The first is controlled by an Intel X79 chipset and the second is 
controlled by a Marvell 88SE9172 chip. During the initial install of Debian 
everything is fine and I can see harddrives attached to either controller. If I 
boot Xen from grub, I cannot see the harddrives on the Marvell chip, if I just 
boot the stock Debian kernel I can see the harddrives. The Marvell controller 
shows up in lspci. I tried to do a pci passthrough of the Marvell controller to 
both a PV and a HVM domU, but it didn’t work.
Is this a known issue? Would upgrading my kernel help? Would upgrading Xen 
help?This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and
