Dear Xen Users, I have _partial_ (that is, less than 100%) success following Jean David Techer''s Xen 4.2-unstable VGA Passthrough Documentation. In both Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM and Windows XP Home Edition HVM, I get yellow exclamation mark besides NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager. NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager reports: 1) Windows has stopped this device

_History_ I have 100% success in Xen VGA Passthrough with Xen 3.5-unstable with my first Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card in 2009, which is 3 years ago. Then my first Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card overheated and malfunctioned. So I bought a 2nd Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card several months ago in March 2012 for S$44, to replace the first card. At that point in time, Xen

Dear All, I have created a virtual high performance computing (HPC) cluster of 6 compute nodes with MPICH2 using Xen-based Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit paravirtualized (PV) domU guests. Dom0 is Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit. My Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB has a single onboard Gigabit LAN network adapter. I am able to bring up the ring of mpd on the set of 6 compute nodes. However, I am consistently

Hi Yongjie, I have just compiled and installed Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26666 and Linux kernel 3.8.1, according to your specifications. However, I still cannot get success with Intel HD Graphics 4600 IGD VGA passthrough. Although in Device Manager in Windows 7 HVM domU, it says "This device is working properly" for Intel HD Graphics 4600, I can only get 16 colors. Please refer to

Hi All, I have several Xen virtual machines within logical volumes using LVM2. I did not use disk images for performance reasons. Conventionally, if I want to clone my virtual machines, I have to dd the LV to an image file. But this consumes a lot of time and harddisk space. So, instead of doing that, I want to use losetup and kpartx with my logical volumes, which contain operating systems of

Dear Intel Engineers, I am unable to get Intel integrated graphics (IGD) VGA passthrough to work with Xen 4.0.1-rc6-pre, Xen 4.0.1-RELEASE, pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.19 and 2.6.32.21. The moment the command "xm create <Windows XP HVM guest>" is executed, the screen immediately goes blank with the label "NO SIGNAL". It may take anywhere from 3-10 minutes before
