Hi all,
I would like to get my system to work with IOMMU.
(The long-term goal is VGA passthru.)
System is as follows:
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600
MB: Foxconn G9657MA-8EKRS2H (w. latest bios: 631F1P61)
Virtualization support is enabled in BIOS. (These is only one option.)
Hypervisor: xen 4.0.0 from Debian, AMD64
Xen config: iommu=verbose
output of xen dmesg is attached.
HVM domains work (lasd tried with xen 3.2), but IOMMU is disabled,
according to xen dmesg.
What can I do to increase the chances of getting this to work?
Thank you for your help:
Kristof Csillag

This is not a software feature, but a chipset on the board. Look at this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets and look for VT-d. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
