Hi, I have removed (00:02.0) from the grub argument line and been using:

xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.0) modprobe.blacklist=i915,xhci_pci,xhci_hcd

with DomU.cfg containing: gfx_passthru=1        pci=['00:02.0','00:14.0']

Now I am seeing the VGA passthrough working, but the Windows DomU is stuck
at 100% CPU utilization in the kernel. Any ideas why?

I have PVDrivers installed, so I have added the pv list to this mail also.
