Hmm, yes, that's ugly. I have always been advocating for modular drivers...
Things go south when 'xen-platform-pci' or 'xen-vbd' module is loaded...
Is there a way to disable a built-in driver??
I'm not aware of one, but we surely had found some way to use PV drivers in 11.4 guests, just that I don't recall the details - hopefully others reading the list will.
IIRC, use 'hda=noprobe' or similar on guest kernel cmdline to avoid the built-in driver.
No, that's only applicable to the old IDE stack in the kernel (which shouldn't be used in newer kernels at all). Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+help@opensuse.org
