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

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

Hi list, i have seen a lot of questions about VT-d on recent intel mobos. however, it seems that all tests are done on the newer socket 775-based xeon''s or core2''s, and not the 5000 series (socket 771 based). i was planning on getting a intel S5000V chipset, but found out that it does not support VT-d. Can anyone confirm a mobo that has this enabled and also has 2x LGA771

Hi All, I checked the on-line manual for the Supermicro C2SBC-Q (Intel Q35 chipset) and it has VT-d support. Wanted to see if anyone has worked with this particular board with Xen and VT-d before I "pull the trigger" on purchasing it for a lab. Thanks! -- Daniel Kao Übermind, Inc.

Hi All, I have a weird issue I''m not sure how to solve.  I''ve got Xen 3.2.1 working under RHEL 5.2 x86_64 just fine.  I fired off a CentOS 5.2 PV install and everything went smoothly... except that when I fire up the PV, the tap0 for bridging isn''t being created.  This results in the CentOS 5.2 domU''s bridged eth0 only being able to ping the RHEL5

Is there anyway to get gigabit networking for a fully virtualized guest? I''ve tried searching for this one, but all I get are results about gigabit networking for the host / dom0, nothing for domU.

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!

Hi All, This might be a stupid question, but I have two PCI devices that I want to pass-thru to a PV domU. I can pass one of them, but not both. I''m sure it''s a stupid syntax issue within my configuration file. When I do a "lspci" in the domU, (CentOS 5.1), only one of the devices shows up. (e.g.) 00:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc

Hi All! Quick question as I''m wondering if this is possible. On a Intel-VT enabled machine (Intel Xeon X3220 on an Intel 3000 Series Chipset), if I have a PCI video-card and a PCI USB card, would it be possible to do a PCI pass-through on those two PCI devices to a guest domain?  I''m assuming the PCI USB card would be fairly easy, but my gut instinct on the PCI video-card is

Hi, Currently my Xen server is working like a charm. I use Xen 3.2.1 with a Debian Etch Dom0 and Etch DomU. The VM have access to the network/internet using NAT. Each VM is given a virtual network interface and a private IP 10.0.0.x. What I would like to do know is that a VM can be directly accessible from another public IP. So my physical server is at 91.121.xx.xx. My VM is at 10.0.0.1 (on

Hello, I am using Xen 3.2.1 and I cannot boot it on my machine unless I use the noacpi option. As far as I know noacpi option is incompatible with SMP, so I must not use it, because my machine is SMP. I am describing the problem in more detail below. If you could point me in the right direction, I''d greatly appreciate it. I downloaded Xen 3.2.1 official source distribution tarball from

Hello, I am new to open solaris and am trying to setup a ZFS based storage solution.

After building Xen-3.2.1 I could successfully boot into it if I avoid giving vtd=1 as the boot parameter. If I pass vtd=1 as the boot parameter to xen, the system hangs while booting. The system hangs after the following messages ============================ Boot messages [XEN].....

On Xen-3.3.0, domain0 Megaraid SAS (SAS 1068 controller) driver is not loading correctly if vtd support in Xen is enabled. It fails at the point of initializing firmware. I wasn''t seeing this error with Xen-3.2.2-rc3 (Unstable version), though with vtd disabled in Xen-3.3.0, it is working. Looks like a degrade problem. Any clues? Thx, Venkat

Hello, I have been working sometime now on getting a HVM accepting a PCI card from the host.
