Is 4.3.0 the only version you have tried or did it used to work on an
older Xen?

What is the -f for? Are you working around some other issue?

xl complains that xend is running if /etc/init.d/xend exists.

 

Does it work if you list the device in the config file, i.e. do a cold
plug? (isolating to a hotplug only vs. a general issue is useful)

It might also be interesting to disable MSI for the guest, there's a
guest kernel commandline option I think, not sure what it is though,
maybe pci=nomsi or perhaps just nomsi?

Much thanks, pci=nomsi in the kernel command-line works perfectly.

Mark
