Hi All- Is it possible yet to pass through a ATI or Nvidia GPU as the primary VGA card to a Win 7/8 VM, and have it fully functional there (DXVA etc), without crashing the guest or the host during operation or when resetting the guest? For hardware I have an E3 v2 Xeon, Tyan S5512 board, and an ATI 7750. Thanks! David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi- I am trying to pass an LSI SAS2008-based HBA (IBM M1015) through to an HVM Solaris VM, using Xen 4.2 unstable and the qemu-traditional device model. On boot I see the following error: MPT BIOS Fault 09h encountered at adapter PCI(00h,05h,00h) A list search yielded (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/128172), however there was no solution for an HVM VM. I''ve

Hi all- I''ve been working with XenServer for years but have decided to build a home server running the latest version of Xen to do GPU pass through to a Win 7 x64 Media Center. What is the best dom0 OS to install to enable this? I''ve seen lots of people using Debian Squeeze, but I wonder why that is being chosen rather than say Ubuntu 12.04 which has a much newer stock kernel?

Hi- Just thought I''d report, I am trying to download 5.6 FP1 and am getting "The content you have requested cannot be found.".. would be great to get this fixed.

Hi all- I''m using Ubuntu 12.04 and compiled unstable on revision 25605:9950f2dc2ee6, the compilation completed cleanly and I issued sudo make install. I modified the grub entry for Xen 4.1 as follows: menuentry ''Ubuntu GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.2-unstable and Linux 3.2.19'' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2

Hi I am curious if anyone has tried to get a Xen hypervisor kernel and dom0 booted on top of EC2, enabling you to virtualize your already virtualized infrastructure? And if so what sort of issues you ran into and if it was successful or not. I''m also interested in hearing why or why not this can or cannot be done :) Thanks, David _______________________________________________

I tried setting xen_platform_pci=0 on my test ubuntu 11.10 livecd VM hoping it would run in HVM only mode, but the guest''s logs showed it detecting the Xen host and loaded the PV netfront driver (after modprobe). Is this expected behavior? Is there no way to force HVM only and not PVHVM or total PV? Setup: Xen Unstable Qemu Upstream Thanks, David

Hi I am trying to get a Xen machine fully configured using PXE, and I am able to see Xen pull the script I specify from my webserver, however I tried making it a simple bash script and it didn''t seem to execute. Can anyone shed some light on an example post-install-script? And particulars about when it is run, ie is it run after the reboot, is it run as root, how can I get debug output

Hi all, So I have been playing around with XCP and the static/dynamic memory parameters. I have a few behavioral questions I would like to pin down: -Is the static-max quantity of free memory on the host always required before the guest vm can be started? I assume so since you don''t know a-priori if the guest you are booting supports Xen or not. But if this is true, what is the use of
