Hi,the libvirt version is 0.8.3, I just used  "apt-get install libvirt-bin" to install it under debian6.0.1a.
Is it  necessary to install 0.8.4 or higher version ?

Best regards,
qinguan

libvirt trys to detach the PCI device from host as preparation when
starting up the domain, and it also binds the device to pci_stub
driver, so it's strange that you need to do it manually? what's
your libvirt version?
