Xen project Mailing List

Hello Dayo,

Welcome to the mailing list.

Wei already covered this, but Xen/XCP rely on a control OS for you to interact, and anything you setup with the core hardware is initially handled by this Domain0.

My first step would be running `uname -a` or similar to verify what OS is your Domain0. ÂThen you can easily narrow down your search to the OS version without XCP.

Next I would check the kernel version from the Ubuntu you had and the new Domain0 you installed. ÂThat could affect hardware compatibility and is worth investigating.

Someone else might have a more definitive answer, and hopefully it'll come down to simply running an extra command after connecting your USB device.

As for a reference to search the mailing list, you may want to check out their lists page, the link to marksmail is what you want:

Best of luck,

~Casey

Xen is just a hypervisor. It exposes peripheral devices to Dom0. You
need Dom0 to take control of the devices.

Google works quite well.

Ultimately there is always a Dom0 OS working. It looks like that Ubuntu
at least has the drivers you need. So why not stick with Ubuntu and
start from there.
