gaming on multiple OS of the same machine?
Hi,
I am new to Xen and I was wondering if the following construction would be
feasible with the current Xen.
I would like to put 2/3/4 new computers in my house, mainly for gaming.
Instead of buying 2/3/4 different computers, I was thinking of building one
computer with a 4/6/8-core CPU, 2/3/4 GPUs, 2/3/4 small SSDs, and attach
2/3/4 monitors to it, 2/3/4 keyboards and 2/3/4 mouses, and run VGA

ATI/AMDs atikmpag.sys BSOD while vga passthrough
Hi everyone
since I''m currently migrating from xm to xl and now are also a victim
of the said error, I started researching on it and found that many
people had the issue but not many found solution and behind this BSOD
(=Bluescreen of Death), there are actually multiple errors in hiding.
What I would like to do is gather as much info as possible in this
thread to form a kind of

ATI VGA Passthrough / Xen 4.2 / Linux 3.8.6
Hi,
I''m trying to get VGA passthrough to work to an XP x64 guest, and I''m
seeing "interesting" things happening.
I''m using the kernel and userspace tools from here:
http://xen.crc.id.au/support/guides/install/#
on Scientific Linux 6.
I gave up on trying to get an Nvidia card to work in the guest having

Using a BIOS SLIC to keep DomU Windows activated
Hello List,
I have a system that came with an OEM copy of Windows 8, and I want to
virtualize that same copy of Windows on top of Xen. While I''ve done
this with retail copies before, that''s just a matter of a license key.
BIOS SLICs, while convenient, are likely less straightforward to
translate into a VM.
Does anyone know if this is possible and/or supported by Xen/QEMU?

gplpv: re-enabling the nic adapter removes it
I guess I have stumbled upon a bug in gplpv drivers.
If you try to re-enable an nic adapter after disabling it, it just
hides out of blue. And you have to reboot.
Latest version of gplpv drivers and Windows 2008 R2 here.
Anyone else noticed the same issue?
I wonder if this is related to hot-plugging something like

VGA/PCI Passthrough of Secondary Graphics Adapter
Aloha!
Concisely, I''ve been trying for several days to get VGA/PCI passthrough
working. Regarding VGA vs PCI passthrough, I''m not entirely certain of the
difference? Does Xen perform a different set of operations when passing
through a VGA card versus any PCIe card? I''ve read the wiki and it seems
the answer is "yes;" however, when passing through a

PCI Hotplugging - Could I juggle a video card and other devices between running DomUs?
Hello List!
As I venture a little further down the Xen rabbit hole, I''ve gotten
myself wondering: could I script the use of "xm pci-attach" and "xm
pci-detach" such that I can shift all of my difficult-to-virtualize
PCI devices, such as video card[s], USB controllers, audio devices,
and so on, from one running DomU to another? Give myself a button or

VGA passthrough ? AMD-FX8, GA-990FXA-UD3, G210
Hello,
Like many trying and posting here, I''m new to VGA passthrough.
Computer was bought, checking compatibility from
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo
The hardware is mostly not exactly on the list, but mainly new versions
of the same series (I think).
IOMMU "seems" to be working (not 100% sure what to check).
I used debian/wheezy kernel and xen, dom0 and HVM domu.

VGA Passthru - FLR?
Hi, everyone. I''m Guilherme Suzuki (brazillian, by the way) and really
interested in xen-vga-passthru.
Lately, I bought a brand new Saphire HD 7950 (OC Boost) because I saw in a
wiki somewhere that users have been able to passthru these VGA devices to
domU (win7, win-xp and so on).
But, after I installed it, I executed *lspci -vv* to check if FLR in DevCap
was present (which

Xen VGA Passthrough Questions
Dear David Techer,
I have read through your article on Xen VGA passthrough on
http://www.davidgis.fr.
It appears that the following command on your blog doesn''t work.
dmesg | grep 01:00.0 | grep BAR
The above command shows nothing at all. Is there an alternative solution?
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,

Dom0 freeze on HVM DomU Windows reboot with VGA passthrough
Hi,
I''m doing VGA passthrough for an ATI (HD 6770) graphics card to
a DomU Windows. The passthrough itself is working. However, everytime
when I reboot the DomU Windows, the whole machine freezes.
I see no error messages from Dom0 kernel or the xen qemu log
(or perhaps I haven''t got the most verbose debugging turned on?).
Though from what I can tell, the the freeze happens

Xen vs VMWare comparison paper
One of my customers handed me a copy of this paper and asked why are we using xen if it is so slow...
http://morse.colorado.edu/~tlen5710/12s/VMware.pdf
which is a fairly damning report of performance under Xen in comparison to VMWare, citing worse than 50% overhead of Xen in comparison to physical.
Has anyone seen this paper before?

Hi all!
I am having troubles with booting Xen with grub2 in UEFI mode.
Does Xen support this configuration? Are there any specific settings?
