I'm running an archlinux dom0 and a few archlinux domu's on the host. I'm trying to make the domu images smaller by removing unnecessary packages, such as the kernel and tools for xfs filesystem, etc. I've run the following command on a test xen domu :
pacman -Rnus cryptsetup dash dbus-core device-mapper grub kernel26 kernel26-firmware licenses lvm2 mdadm mkinitcpio pciutils pcmciautils ppp reiserfsprogs rp-pppoe sdparm usbutils wpa_supplicant xfsprogs
My problem is that after restarting the xen eth0 interface is no longer found in the domu and Im not sure which package (or combo of packages) would be responsible for that.
Running ifconfig -a on the domu only shows the lo interface. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I ran the command you gave me and there was no output, so i tried just lspci and there is no output at all for the command. Keep in mind this is for the guest os under xen. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

I was going to suggest that you need 'pciutils' still, but my VPS which runs under Xen doesn't have it....
This is what my Xen domU has:

Even weirder, I just checked which of those packages were installed on my linode and the only one, oddly, is grub. Which is unnecessary. It works just fine too. So I'm wondering if there is something in a config file that I need to change.
Question is, which one?
