Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

PCI problems with Xen kernel on SiS motherboard: msg#00011

Subject: PCI problems with Xen kernel on SiS motherboard
I just installed FC5-T3 on my computer. With the normal kernel, everthing works fine, but when I boot into the xen-hypervisor kernel, kudzu crashes and eth0 won't come up -- it says no such device. USB ports don't work either, under the xen kernel.

I think the problem has something to do with PCI under the xen kernel. Running lspci under the xen kernel returns absolutely nothing, and there is nothing in /proc/pci either. This happens with both the stock 1955 kernel and the updated 2009 kernel. It also happened with the FC4 xen kernel, which I why I went to a FC5 test distribution in the first place...

It's a desktop system, but it has a mobile Athlon XP 2800+ on a cheap PC Chips motherboard, with a SiS 760 GX northbridge and a SiS 964 southbridge.

Has anyone else seen this or know of a possible fix?

===============================================
This is the output when I run on the non-xen kernel (the xen kernel simply returns nothing for lspci):
