Hi all, I am trying to configure a Dom U to act as a firewall and therefore I need to pass one of the two ethernet cards to the Dom-U. I configured the Xen kernel to build pciback as a module and I am passing the hide option via boot parameters. I boot the pv machine via pygrub and I am able to see the ethernet device in Dom U as follows: Dom-U#lspci 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom

Hello all, this mail is related to a post by Axel Schöner that I found at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/40621 when I was searching the WEB about solutions to my problem. I would like to confirm that VT-d with XEN 3.3 kernel 2.6.18.8 on mainboard Intel DQ45CB seems to be broken.

Hi. I got this on today's RELENG_6 with Broadcom BCM5722 A0, ASIC rev. 0xa200. >From dmesg (bge related): bge0: <Broadcom BCM5722 A0, ASIC rev. 0xa200> mem 0xe8400000-0xe840ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 bge0: firmware handshake timed out, found 0x4b657654 bge0: firmware handshake timed out, found 0x4b657654 bge0: EEPROM read timed out bge0: failed to read EEPROM device_attach:

Dear Users, Debian Etch 2.6.18.8-xen from xensource.com with Xen 3.3.0 on AMD64: After i want to start the HVM i get: VmError: fail to assign device(1:0.0): maybe it has already been assigned to other domain, or maybe it doesn''t exist.

I''m having trouble actually seeing a PCI device in my VMs. I''ve resolved several of my issues using previous posts and using the VTdHowTo wiki page. I have both VT and VTd BIOS options enabled. I have pciback hiding the devices and xm can list and assign the devices to VMs. I don''t see the PCI devices in my VMs though. I have tried a windows and a Linux vm, without

Hello, I FINALLY got Xen working with VT-d. I compiled Xen-unstable (3.3) from Mercurial on CentOS 5.2, but compiled my own kernel-xen from the latest CentOS SRPM. (Made sure pciback was built-in and not a module, as the stock kernel-xen has it as a module.) I''m probably going to write a how-to soon, so stay tuned! I have a JMicron SATA/PATA PCI Express controller with a DQ35JO

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

I am having issues when using unicorn with a Capistrano deployment. >From what I have been able to understand Capistrano uses a scheme in wich every release is deployed inside the releases directory under a unique name and if the transaction was successful, creates a symlink named current that will point to that release. So I end up with a deployment directory such as:

Dear David Techer, I have read through your article on Xen VGA passthrough on http://www.davidgis.fr. It appears that the following command on your blog doesn''t work. dmesg | grep 01:00.0 | grep BAR The above command shows nothing at all. Is there an alternative solution? Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

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, I am trying to install centos 5.3 on ibm x3200 m2 server. The problem appears when the installer is about to finish the installation. It detects the RAID correctly, but it doesn't finish formatting the root partition. I tried the default partition layout and also a custom one, but it always ends with the same message: An error occurred trying to format /. this problem is serious and the

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 the reviews for the AMD 890fx chipset reported that it supports IOMMU v1.2. But I cannot find any mention of that on AMD site. Does 890fx support IOMMU? Do 890fx motherboards with IOMMU exist? Does Xen support 890fx?

I have a broadcom bcm5722 and a dual intel pro/1000 pt nic in a dell t110. The setup sees the cards and i put them into automatic mode. After the install no cards are detected at all. Astaro 8.01 detects and utilizes all of these cards just fine. I have also tried ubuntu server 10.04 lts and they work fine. I'm curious if this is a bug with Centos 6?

Hi all, I downloaded the xen 3.3.0 and now testing the pci pass-through with the NIC. Using late binding, the pci slot 0000:08:01.0 is assigned to pciback. But pci related xm commands are not working. For eg: linux-242:/home/xen-3.3.0 # xm pci-list-assignable-devices Unexpected error: <type ''exceptions.OSError''> Please report to

lspci shows MSI enabled for PCI device. PCI passthrough works fine. However, as soon as the MSI driver for card is insmodded, kernel panics. This is on xen-unstable. Tried the same with xen-3.3.0 which is supposed to have MSI passthrough, but the same guest shows MSI as disabled. Any else seen this bug, or know of a workaround ? Trace is as follows : ------------[ cut here ]------------
