[Xen-users] domU does not see the pci nic - pci passthrough

Hi all!
I want to assign a physical network card  (e100) to a domU:
I think  Dom0 is ok but domU does not recognize the pci nic.

into DomU I don''t know wath should I see: I have nothing in dmesg nor
in
messages...

Into Dom0 I have

this modules.conf:
options pciback hide=(0000:03: 08.0)
install e100 /sbin/modprobe pciback; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install e100

This is dmesg:
pciback 0000:03:08.0: seizing device

Re: [Xen-users] domU does not see the pci nic - pci passthrough

Hi Marco,

Everything you''ve shown looks OK as far as it goes...  Weird that the
guest
isn''t working for you.

What does lspci in the guest give?

What distro are you runing in the dom0 and domU?  Where have your Xen-enabled 
kernels come from?  Self compiled, or distro packages?  Does your domU 
definitely have an installed driver for the device?

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [Xen-users] domU does not see the pci nic - pci passthrough

Hi Mark,
lspci does
[root@localhost tmp]# lspci
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

Dom0: Centos 5, 32 bit, kernel 2.6.18-8.el5xen. The /boot/config file
contains:
CONFIG_X86_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION=0x00030203
CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y

CONFIG_XEN_REBOOT=y
CONFIG_XEN_SMPBOOT=y


DomU: Centos 5. 32 bit, kernel 2.6.9-55.ELxenU

Each server has centos kernel.

I noticed that domU does not have the e100 module... the domU kernel is very
poor, it does not have many modules..

Regards,

Marco

I always have e100 module in my RHEL5 xen kernel.

[root@dhcp6-102 ~]# find /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/| grep e100
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko

[root@dhcp6-102 ~]# find /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5xen/| grep e100
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5xen/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko

Your problem is something else. On successful pci passthrough, your domU 
should list your pci card in the lspci output regardless of the 
availability of e100 module in the xen kernel.
