similar to: Cannot assign device in Xen-unstable [VT-d]

Hello, I''m also seeing this exact same problem. I''ve posted on xen-users, but did not get an answer. Venkat seems to be experiencing the same problem as me. I have the latest BIOS for my motherboard DQ35JO. (BIOS ver 933) I''m running a Q6600 as well. It hangs at "Brought up 4 CPUs." I''ve tried all sorts of combinations of Xen versions and kernels to

I am happy to announce that I have successfully (and finally!) been able to pass a PCIe graphics card via VT-d to a Windows XP HVM DomU. About time! Config: -Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad-Core, G0 stepping (I think) -Intel DQ35JO Motherboard, Q35 Chipset, BIOS v.991 (1/9/09), VT and VT-d enabled -nVidia 9500GT (for VT-d passthrough - DomU) -nVidia GeForce2 MX200 (Dom0 console) -Xen (build:

Hi there, I have a question regarding PCI passthrough on the Citrix XenServer 5.6 (Xen 3.4.2). I already managed to get some soundcard passed through to a Windows guest. So I think my knowledge about that topic isn''t _that_ low. But I cannot seem to pass through a SATA/PATA controller to a Linux guest. I have some additional CD/DVD burner (PATA) attached to a SATA/PATA controller

Purchased DQ35JO on Vt-d/PCI passthrough wiki''s recommendations. Built latest xen-unstable and am getting the following via ''xm dmesg'': (XEN) [VT-D]dmar.c:374: RMRR error: base_addr d0000000 end_address cfffffff (XEN) Failed to parse ACPI DMAR. Disabling VT-d. My grub.conf looks like this: kernel /xen.gz vga=mode-0x0317 vtd=1 iommu=1

Hello, I have been working sometime now on getting a HVM accepting a PCI card from the host. As was said in the VT-D wiki I bought an ASUS P5E VM DO motherboard (rel 0803) which has the VT-D option in the bios. I want to pass a Hauppauge PVR 500 card to a virtual machine running LinuxMCE. After first trying XEN 3.2.1 which did not enable the "VT-D virtualisation" bit in xm dmesg, i

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

Greetings, I''m attempting to do gfx_passthru with the primary graphics adapter (03:00.0), passing it to a guest. I can unbind it from the host but when I fire up the guest OS my monitor loses signal from the graphics card and that''s that. The GFX card is dual DVI, I''ve tried both slots. Host is Linux 2.6.32.14-1.2.105.xendom0.fc12.x86_64, Guest is Windows 7. PC is an

Hi, I am having some difficulties installing centos 5.3 on the gigabyte GA-MA790FX-UD5P motherboard. Has anyone got centos booting on this motherboard? so far I have tried the following. + disabled the jmicron controller as this caused errors on booting JMB363 bad irq(0): will probe later error (this error caused the installation to stop at this point) + tested all components in another

Been running rock solid servers on Centos 3 and 4 for years but equipment is starting to die so it is time. I was thinking along the lines of an Intel Q6600 on an Asus P5K-VM mobo with the new G33 chipset utilizing SATA. Is anyone having success with this board or any of the G33 chipsets where I am not going to run into all kinds of install problems? I see these other threads of install

Somebody else has something new about the Asus P6T and this problem? How

Hi, i was trying to install CentOS 5.1 on new machine based on Intel Q35 desktop board, witch 2 SATA disks (configured as RAID 1) , 8GB RAM and Intel Core2 QUADCORE. The first problem was with install - it hangs before installer startup at ACPI messages. So i installed it with ACPI=off switch. The first problem is : Dec 7 09:54:01 vmhost1 kernel: BIOS bug, no explicit IRQ entries, using default

I thought I''d pass along a few tips for getting the Intel DQ35JO motherboard to play nice with Xen: 1. The dom0 kernel won''t boot with CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG enabled. If you get a hang during boot after seeing this message: ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00) ...then MMCONFIG is your problem. Some kernels seem to support a pci=nommconfig option, but my Gentoo 2.6.21 Xen

I have a freshly built, updated EL6 system and am having problems with USB stability - at boot everything works fine but within a few hours, USB devices start disappearing randomly. At first I though the USB devices were suspect, but removing the suspect devices and an accessory PCIE USB card hasn't changed anything. As of now, a single USB device is working. (which is lucky, it hosts the

Hi All, So I''ve got a DVB-S PCI Express card ($30 USD Twinhan AD-SE200 off eBay) that''s being passed via VT-d/pciback in Xen 3.2.1 under CentOS 5.2 to a Windows XP SP3 which works! ... except for one small issue... Motherboard is an Intel DQ35JO that much people has had success with and an Intel E8400 CPU. The issue is that when dealing with FTA MPEG-2 transport streams (DVB-S

Hi there, has anyone run into any Desktop/Workstation Intel brand motherboards that work with CentOS 5.1 (4.6/3.9 out of box compatibility is a very large plus) and work with the 1333MHZ cpus such as the 8400/9450 and accept 8GB of RAM? The closest we've found so far is the DG31PR which is alright but it has the limitation of 4GB of RAM and an unsupported Realtek NIC. The DQ35JO is also ok,

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.

Hi all! I''m hoping someone here might be able to help. I''m familiar with several UNIX''es, though farily new to Linux... I''m running RHEL 5.2. I''ve got the RHEL kernel headers installed, etc, and compiled xen-3.3. Once that was built, I rebuilt libvirt, etc, the kernel, and all the modules. The whole mess boots and runs fine... mostly. My hardware

Hello all, please tell me, how can I be sure that my Xen installation is built with Intel VT-d support? Something like xm info | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION xm dmesg | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION What line I should look for? And if it''s really built with it, how can I be sure, that Xen has successfully initialized VT-d hardware? I have read [1] and the lists archives

Hi I've installed CentOS 5.2 (i386) in a computer with a DG33BU motherboard ... When I installed it it crashed because of ACPI issues. Searching Google I found that I need to turn ACPI off in order to successfully install CentOS, which I did. After a while I noticed that because of ACPI is off the Linux kernel finds, initializes and uses only 1 CPU core in the Q6600 quad core CPU that is
