Hello,
I have been struggling as of late to successfully configure a pci
passthrough using libvirt with kvm. Hoping someone can shed some light on
the problem. Overall my experience with virtualization limited is so please
forgive. The guest runs fine till passthrough is configured. I am using
virt-manager. This has been tried on both a Fedora17 x86_64 and Arch Linux
x86_64 build with pretty much identical errors.
I have carefully reviewed my hardware and purchased vt-d enabled parts
where needed. vt-d is enabled for my chipset, cpu and in it's enabled in
the bios.
on both systems I complied a custom kernel to enable DMA Remapping,
PCI-stub and set CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y
using kernel boot param: intel_iommu=on (not sure if overkill)
have kvm module option allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1
selinux set to permissive mode in fedora. not used in arch
when launching I 1) modprobe pci_stub, 2) virsh nodedev-dettach pci device,
3) load guest using virtmanager... it get the following
the log outputs
