Hi, unfortunatly your latest change "AMD,IOMMU: Clean up old entries in remapping tables when creating new one" (Changeset 26517 in xen-unstable and 25975 in xen-4.2-testing) is causing a CPU0 Panic at boot for me. When i tried to boot latest versions of xen unstable or xen-testing, my dom0 gives me the message: (XEN) ************************************* (XEN) Panic on CPU 0: (XEN)

Further to my last post, I have removed the xen-pciback module from the Dom0 kernel, and reloaded it as modprobe xen-pciback passthrough=1 I now have the PCI device on the DomU matching the Dom0 Device usb usb1: SerialNumber: 0000:00:1a.0 instead of 0000:00:00.0 However I now have this error ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.0: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ. does

I''ve been trying to set up a VGA-passthrough on my Ubuntu 12.04 box to run Windows (for gaming) while leaving my RAID-5 array available (managed by Linux). First, here are the machine specs: CPU: AMD A8-3870K 3.4GHz Quad-Core APU GPU: APU-integrated AMD Radeon 6550 (shared memory) Mobo: ASUS F1A75-V EVO with AMD-virtualization enabled in UEFI-BIOS RAM: 8GB DDR3 1866 G-Skill Sniper

I''ve just had my first attempt at getting VGA passthrough to work, and it crashed the machine. I''m trying to understand whether this is a problem with my hardware, configuration or a software problem. I''m running Xen 4.1.2 with Linux 3.1.2 The CPU is an Intel Core i5-650 http://ark.intel.com/products/43546/Intel-Core-i5-650-Processor-%284M-Cache-3_20-GHz%29 The Video

Dear All I am using Centos 7 with Xen 4.6 on a Dell Poweredge T430 When the machine boots, after the 'Scrubbing Free RAM' message, I get a screen filled with little white squares until the login prompt, so I cannot see what is happening as the machine boots. Also there is nothing on the screen when I reboot. My /etc/default/grub is GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release

I am using Xen 4.6.0-8.el7 on CentOS 7 with 3 Linux DomUs. I did have Xen 4.? on CentOS 6.5 on my previous system. I installed using yum install centos-release-xen. On shutting down the Hypervisor it used to wait for the DomUs to shut down gracefully (one can take a minute or more), then on starting up again it would restart the DomUs, all nice and controlled. For some reason the DomUs (CentOS

Further to my messages back in May I have at last got round to trying to get my DomU to recognise USB devices. I am using Xen 4.6 with CentOS kernel 3.18.34-20.el7.x86_64. I have to manually make the port available before creating the DomU by issuing the command: xl pci-assignable-add 00:1a.0 otherwise nothing shows in: xl pci-assignable-list I have added this to my .cfg file as per the

Add commands to automatically prep devices for pass-through The current method for passing through devices requires users to either modify cryptic Linux boot parameters and reboot, or do a lot of manual reads and writes into sysfs nodes. This set of patches introduces commands to make this easier. It expands on the concept of "assignable" (from the list_assignable_devices command).

Currently we assign devices with VT-d in Xend, this raises two issues: 1) assign devices regardless of they are hidden by pciback or not. If the device is not hidden, it results in the device doesn''t work in Dom0; 2) device is assigned one by one, if assign multiple devices, some devices may have been assigned when problem happens, it results in assigned devices don''t work in

Add support for a xenstore dm command to flush qemu''s buffer cache. qemu will just keep mapping pages and not release them, which causes problems for the memory pager (since the page is mapped, it won''t get paged out). When the pager has trouble finding a page to page out, it asks qemu to flush its buffer, which releases all the page mappings. This makes it possible to find
