Problems with pciback.hide

Hi folks,

I installed sucessfully 2 virtual machines on a fedora core 6 system.
When I try to use the grub command "pciback.hide", I retrieve an error
message while booting my dom0... I read an article which says, that it
might be possible, that the pciback.hide feature is not activated in the
kernel... Does anybody know how to activate this feature?

Thanks a lot...

The Fedora kernel does not have CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND enabled at
present so it will not work without a recompile.
