Something happen to the Xen list? I was knee deep in a couple of threads and the list up and disappeared on me:) jlc

Dear List, I need to make an Aladdin eToken Pro visible in a Linux guest HVM, but I cannot assign the device to any domU, while it''s being blocked by the dom0. To avoid this trouble I would like to pass the whole USB bus to the domU directly, via PCI passthrough. Now I use xen 3.3.0 from xensource and xen kernel from Ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24-19-xen, because the xensource xen kernel

Hi experts I use xen-4.0.0 and dom0 is 2.6.33 and domU is 2.6.34 #lspci ............... 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10a7 (rev 02) 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10a7 (rev 02) 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) 05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit

Hello, I am desperately trying to get pci-passthrough to working. I want to pass a tg3 nic to domU. when booting domU I get a lot of messages: pcifront pci-0: pciback not responding!!! in domU, "ifconfig eth... adress up" hangs for 2 minutes, finally ifconfig -a shows a correct setting with no data transmitted rx/tx The IP Adress is being assigned, but there is no data transmission

Hi , I have been trying to understand PCI -passthrough support. Please correct me if I am wrong in my following inferences. 1. Device emulation and pass through are both implemented using split drivers. 2. But, in case of emulation drivers of dom0 are used where as in case of passthrough ( as the name suggests ) native drivers in domU are used . 3. dom0 provides a virtual PCI device { an

Following 7 patches are for PCIE AER (Advanced Error Reporting) support for XEN. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patches 1~4 back port from Linux Kernel which enables kernel support to AER. Those patches enable DOM0 PCIE error handling capability. When a device sends a PCIE error message to the root port, it will trigger an interrupt. The irq handler

Thanks Anna, this was also quite interesting for me. Did you mean that I just have to eliminate the else branch or raise arround "All devices behind the uppermost PCI/PCI-X bridge must be co-assigned to the same guest." or do I have to eliminate more in order to prevent an FLR (whatever that is). For my board it''s definitely necessary to move PCI devices in different guests,

Hi : I am trying to do PCIe passthrough on HVM domu. I have window XP as a HVM domu and xen-4.0. dom0 and domU (without device assign) works fine. I have more than one NIC card. I want to passthrough 03:00.0 to domu here are the list of my nic cards: lspci | grep -i eth 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Hello, The topic is self-explanatory: how to ensure that a PV driver domain correctly prepares its PCI devices for S3 sleep? If I do "pm-suspend" in dom0, and the driver domain has active network interfaces, suspend hangs the system. Yes, in case of this particular machine, suspend works fine when there is no driver domain. It is possible to manually invoke scripts from

The 8168B (02) NIC works well except that it does not go into promiscuous mode despite advertising itself in that mode after being so directed with ifconfig. Unfortunately, the little box is destined to be an IDS monitor, so that function is essential. The board is an Intel Atom 330 run as x86_64, the nic is internal. We tried three drivers: the one in the 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 kernel yields

First, maintainer''s addresses (Ryan Wilson <hap9@epoch.ncsc.mil>, Chris Bookholt <hap10@epoch.ncsc.mil>) are wrong (users unknown to remote mailsystem), so posting to you: PCI bus format strings are wrong. "%04x:%02x:%02x.%d" should be used instead of "%04x:%02x:%02x.%1x" (in many places of linux+v3.2.1/drivers/xen/xen-pciback/pci_stub.c) --

Hello, on a Supermicro H8DGU server with the latest BIOS PCI passtrough fails. I tried to give a two igbvf devices to the domU. pciback is configured and everything locks good until igbvf tries to initialize the PCI device. I have the same error with XEN 4.3, 4.3.1 and the current 4.4-unstable, linux kernel 3.12.0, 3.12.1, 3.9. DomU config: kernel = "/boot/gentoo-DomU" memory =

I''m using Xen 4.01 and jeremy''s pvops kernel, the kernel version is 2.6.32.18.

Hello all, I''m trying to pass my PCI device through to an HVM. I''m following the steps on the xen pci passthrough wiki.

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver: 00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01) which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc) and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes to disable that they can set: xen_platform_pci=0 (in the guest config file) or xen_emul_unplug=never (on the Linux command

So yesterday I got was able to get a domU successfully using a PCI SCSI card. This morning I restarted the host server. When I try to start up the same domU I get this error: Error: pci: improper device assignment specified: pci: 0000:0e:04.0 must be co-assigned to the same guest with 0000:0e:04.0, but it is not owned by pciback. How do I make this card owned by pciback on reboot. Do I need to

Hello I am new in XEN and Linux. I am trying the VGA passthru. I can xen-pciback.hide EtherNet, Serial Com port. But when I xen-pciback.hide my VGA. I can no longer login to the Linux(Fedora 12). Then how can I xm create a XP DomU guest? Can anyone help? I am using Intel Q35 MB with Intel Core2 CPU. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello everybody, for just one week I try to install three servers on an OpenSuSE 10.3 dom0 equipped with 4 NICs. One server is an OX using the onboard NIC via xenbr0. This server runs!! For my IPCop server I intended to use the three remaining NICs (Intel Pro100/S, 3Com 3C590, Realtek RTL-8139). These three NICs should be used natively by my IPCop. So I tried to use the pciback driver. I wrote a
