Like others on this list I am trying to employ the VTD-NEO patches in Xen 3.2 unstable to assign the internal graphics device to Dom1/Vista. I have removed the Cirrus Logic emulated device from qemu and replaced the Cirrus Logic vgabios with the the actual vgabios from my GPU. However I am hitting an xen assert and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. Below

Hello, I read in the announce of Xen 3.2.0 released that it has "preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully virtualised (HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 ''real mode''" . I''d like to know what is the level of the emulation of x86 ''real mode''? I ask that because I tried to install OpenSuse 10.3 (I used the iso file

Hi all don''t get such envionment to try now. so ask for help here. imagine that two os installed. Xen3.1 + Linux is installed in /dev/hda and windows xp is installed in /dev/hdb I don''t want to reboot to use windows. Is it possiable to boot the hdb windows in xen? i saw there are some threads about P2V in this mail list. will the P2V tools help? thanks

I am having reports of PCI passthrough problems with SR-IOV, in particular it looks like we are hitting the warning at msi:635 and msi:648 in xen; see the following log: (XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:1785: VT-d page table not sharing with EPT table xenbus dev backend/vbd/1/5696 error 6 opening device (XEN) PCI add Virtual Function 04:1a.0 (XEN) HVM1: HVM Loader (XEN) HVM1: Detected Xen v4.1.0.rc2.pre (XEN)

When using the 4.3.0-3/4.3.0-3+b1 xen packages from the Debian archive, things work fine. However, when we compile the xen=4.3.0-3 source package ourselves, we run into an issue launching an HVM. As soon as the HVM bios is loaded, VCPU0 gets a triple fault and the HVM is destroyed (this is with "loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all hvm_debug=3" boot options). (XEN) HVM1: Multiprocessor

Hi all, I''m using ThinkPad T60, with xen3.1.0, windows could be installed into a file based virtual disk. however, when I tried to use a physical disk, I got this err msg: HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (0 MBytes) ata0 slave: UnKnown device Booting from Hard Disk...

I hope someone can enlighten me. I have a quad-port Intel 82580 nic (igb driver) on my system and I''d like to dedicate each nic to a HVM via VT-d PCI passthrough. The IOMMU on my system seems to work, I can assign the PCI devices to my HVMs. The HVMs see the pci device and load their respective igb drivers, and ethtool -i eth0 works on each HVM, shows the drivers are loaded and the

I just built 4.3.0 in order to get > 2GB of RAM in domU with GPU passthrough without crashes. Unfortunately, the same crashes still happen. Massive frame buffer corruption on domU before it locks up solid. It seems the PCI memory stomp is still happening. I am using qemu-dm, as I did on Xen 4.2.x. So whatever fix for this went into 4.3.0 didn''t fix it for me. Passing less than 2GB

Hello! I want to run windows in xen. My linux distrution in ubuntu 6.06 amd 64. I downloaded and installed xen 3.0.2 from binaries. I found that hvmloader is not included in binary distribution :-( So I try to compile it from sources. I get following error: cpp -P -DDEBUG -DTEXTADDR=0x000D0000 vmxassist.ld > vmxassist.tmp ld -o vmxassist -m elf_i386 -nostdlib --fatal-warnings -N -T

Hello, It looks like upstream linux-2.6.git contains at least the following xen related new features for Linux 2.6.36: - Xen-SWIOTLB support (required for Xen PCI passthru and dom0) - Xen PV-on-HVM drivers - Xen VBD online dynamic resize of guest disks (xvd*) Congratulations! What are the plans for 2.6.37 merge window? I believe at least: - Xen PCI frontend Others? I''m going to

This issue I am encountering seems to only happen on multi-socket machines. It also does not help that the only multi-socket box I have is an Romley-EP (so two socket SandyBridge CPUs). The other SandyBridge boxes I''ve (one socket) are not showing this. Granted they are also a different model (42). The problem is that when I run ''perf top'' within an SMP PVHVM guest,

I've tracked down the issue to the seabios package being updated to 1.7.4-1 from 1.7.3-3. When Xen is built with the older version, everything works fine. In fact, I bisected the issue down to the following SeaBIOS commit: http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=seabios.git;a=commit;h=e144bb7af49ca8756b7222a75811f3b85b0bc1f5 I don't know if this group is interested in tracking down the

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); ....

Hi, Was anyone able to run Solaris 10 10/08 as guest under a HVM domU Debian Etch (xen 3.0.3-1) or current Debian Lenny (xen 3.2-1)? In my case Solaris installation stops after boot kernel ; I can''t see anyhing after grub screen. I know that it is possible using Xen 3.3 (see [1]) but I don''t know if it possible with a previous Xen version Thanks, Álvaro [1]

Folks -- I''m trying to run FreeBSD 6.0 on a VT-x based Xen system. I''m experiencing a problem where the boot loader is crashing before the FreeBSD kernel (proper) is loaded. The sequence of operations is that the VMX domain is constructed, the BIOS is executed, GRUB loads, I type the instructions to load FreeBSD (a boot loader) and that code begins to execute and then
