Hi,
is it possible to hide hardware from dom0 and delegate it to a domU with
the out-of-the-box Fedora xen? I.e. with pciback. I would like to
delegate a network interface to one of my domU's. Can anybody confirm
either that it is or that it is not possible?
Thanks.

I'm not sure about Fedora XEN (I'm only using fedora on guests), but with
RHEL/Centos 5 as dom0, this works for me to hide a USB interface:
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 dom0_mem=512M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen ro root=/dev/k/root
pciback.hide=(00:09.0)(00:09.1)(00:09.2) noirqdebug
module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.6.el5xen.img
