Konrad,

I'm not sure... it is probably something I have done wrong, and
probably something simple so I am overlooking it.  I have gone back to
stock FC17 kernel and slimmed down my hide list to see if that helps:
[root at xenhost ~]# cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True rd.lvm.lv=vg0/swap
KEYTABLE=us rd.lvm.lv=vg0/root rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
xen-pciback.hide=(0b:00.0)(09:00.0)"
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=4096M,max:4096M dom0_max_vcpus=2
dom0_vcpus_pin loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all"

however the xen-pciback module is not loading at boot, and when I try
to load it manually:
[root at xenhost ~]# modprobe -vv xen-pciback
insmod /lib/modules/3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/xen-pciback.ko
0)
libkmod: kmod_module_insert_module: Failed to insert module
'/lib/modules/3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/xen-pciback.ko':
No such file or directory
ERROR: could not insert 'xen_pciback': No such file or directory

It is claiming file not found, but if I run the command on the first
line (insmod) it claims a different error, it does not like the "0)"
[root at xenhost ~]# insmod
/lib/modules/3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/xen-pciback.ko
0)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
