similar to: How vital is having "FLReset+" for VGA Passthru in DomU?

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

Greetings, I am resending this as it doesn't appear in the archives and no one responded...maybe it got routed to /dev/null or something :-) I have asked this question the Scientific Linux mailing list (a few months ago) and got the suggestion I talk to the kernel guys. I pinged a kernel guy I know, and his suggestion was to ask the Nouveau list. So here I am. :-) I have had my work laptop

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 read about the extra patches required to get a

I have been investigating pci pass-through for virtualized guests and the documentation I have found seems to me to lack a certain consistency in its example. This may be due to my not understanding what it is trying to inform me. What I wish to do is to configure a pci multi-port serial i/o card for use by a single virtual host. I start by running lspci -v on the host to identify the serial

Hi List, I have an ASUS G73S laptop with our favorite OS installed and all up-to-date. Sound has always "just worked" When I use the Preferences>Sound app I can setup the hardware, input, output and was overall very impressed. One can check each speaker and the laptop has a front left and right and also has a bass speaker which seems to be connected to the left rear. The various

This might be a silly question for most, but since Xen is ever so changing with regular changesets and updates, what is the "best practice" way to upgrade / update or even downgrade Xen? 1.) Is it by booting into regular Linux Kernel without Xen, do a complete uninstall of the old Xen, than install the newly compiled Xen? 2.) Is it by booting into regular Linux Kernel without Xen,

Just wondering about which QEMU version to use. Looking in the xl.cfg MAN page, you can choose from "qemu-xen-traditional" or "qemu-xen", however i have seen a third one "qemu-dm" WHICH is not listed in the xl.cfg man page. I know the "qemu-xen-traditional" device-model is the default one as it is more stable, compatible and so forth. The

Hello, guys. First apologize my flaws, I am not a native English speaker and thus am prone to stupid errors. My box is an ASUSTek Notebook with Optimus capability (no, this is NOT about Optimus, I don't try to use Optimus yet, so please don't switch off here) with a running Gentoo. The first GPU is an Haswell-based Intel chip, the second one is a nVidia GeForce GTX 850M, the chip is a

+cc: ocfs2-devel, sunil Marek, Thanks for the detailed report! Can I trouble you to file a bug at http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla ... oh, is that your report http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1339? This looks like a deadlock of some sort. I don't think your hardware configuration really matters here. We'll keep looking into it. Joel On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 08:22:48AM

Hi All, When tried to pass through 2 mpt2sas HBA to hvm guest, hvmloader paused with below: MPT BIOS Fault 09h encountered at adapter PCI(00h,04h,00h) Press any key to continue... Checked related codes and mostly like it caused by rombios did not loaded MPT BIOS properly, and lead MPT BIOS failed to bootup. config-file of the guest as below: ---------------------------------- # cat vm.cfg

Has anyone experimented with installing XCP from a USB thumb drive? Is it possible? How was the installation media installed to the USB thumb drive (e.g., dd)?

I''m wondering if FLR really must be supported by the PCI card for PCI/VGA passthrough to work or if it will work anyway. I have read in the VTdHowTo that trying to pass through hardware without the FLR feature will result in an error. At the same time I read on a pdf document on the VMWare website (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vsp_4_vmdirectpath_host.pdf) that:

Hi, all, The attached patches try to improve the current FLR logic. The idea is: removing the FLR logic from hypervisor and adding the improved logic in Control Panel. The current FLR logic in hypervisor has some issues: 1) Dstate transition is not guaranteed to properly clear the device state; 2) the current code for PCIe FLR is actually buggy: PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_TRPND doesn''t mean the

Hi As we will use xl in xen 4.1. I had try use xl to do something. And I find some command is fails. For config file, when give "disk=" too args, it will show segment fault if we use xl create to start guest. Is there any change for xl''s config file? Following command can not work: xl migrate: when I use xl migrate domain localhost to do migrate, it shows error:

Hi everyone, I would like to ask what the current status of FLR, or better of FLR emulation is in latest Xen and if we can expect better support in the future. I''m asking because with xl (latest build and traditional qemu, not upstream), I always had problems with rebooting domUs which have vga cards passed through to them, because appearently they don''t get reinitialized and

I have successfully passed through a video card, network card, USB mouse, and USB keyboard to a MS Vista guest. That works well. I am trying to add another PCI device, such as a audio card or PCI USB hub, but I am running into a strange problem. When I plug the PCI audio (or USB card) to the motherboard. It makes it so that the PCI video card is no longer an "assignable device" (xm

Just out of annoyance more than curiosity, but ever since I started using Xen 4.2-unstable rev-25467, every time I try to run "sudo xl create <domu_config_file>", or "sudo xl reboot", or "sudo xl destroy", it always gives me this message: "*xend is running, which prevents xl from working correctly. If you still want to force the execution of xl please

R-sig-Debian help, Yesterday I sought help regarding R upgrading from R-2.8.1 to R-2.9.1. I must thank specially Dirk for his helpful advice. But now I am facing a dilemma. I want to install a package called FLR which works under R-2.8.1. So my question is whether I can keep the latest release (R-2.9.1) and also install R-2.8.1 (and if feasible how.) Alternatively I could uninstall R-2.9.1 and

On 32e, we create one guest, then hotplug attach one NIC to guest, guest can not get IP address via dhcp, guest qemu log shows "libpci read error. No emulation ".
