[Xen-users] Re: [FIXED] Dell R605: Broadcom PCI pass through problem

I had not checked that the dom0 was able to setup interfaces on the dual port card. It wasn''t. It turned out that udev assigned "eth1" to both nics. Once that was rectified the first interface showed up in the vm. 2. In the domU configfile I specified the nic this way: [ ''0000:06:00.0'' ''0000:06:00.1'' ] and not the correct way: [ ''0000:06:00.0'', ''0000:06:00.1'' ]. Once I put the comma in the pci line, the second interface showed up in the vm. So: mission accomplished, time to go to bed. /Per - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Per Jensen http://www.net-es.dk/~pj FSF member #1516 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkqRrhwACgkQSO+YZlPNgGVCIQCfQ3nkI59e7JkvdeMEQbcgtBrQ ZVQAniNDbdKjbiPMpudRxhuMhn1QK4Rz =ADC1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
