All, I have been trying to get PCI pass through working for sometime and need to know if I have a hardware problem (does my hardware support PCI pass through) or if I am doing something in correct. 1) My BIOS does allow me to enable VT support 2) *cat /proc/cpuinfo* processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2327.532 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 1 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl *vmx* est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4658.82 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 2327.532 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 1 core id : 1 cpu cores : 1 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl *vmx* est tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4658.82 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: 3) *dmesg | grep 0a:0e* Bootdata ok (command line is ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet pciback.hide=(0a:0e.0)(07:00.0) pciback.verbose_request=1 apic=debug pci=routeirq) Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet pciback.hide=(0a:0e.0)(07:00.0) pciback.verbose_request=1 apic=debug pci=routeirq ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0a:0e.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 pciback 0000:0a:0e.0: seizing device ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0a:0e.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:0a:0e.0 disabled 4) *cat xen_foo.cfg* name = "xen_foo" uuid = "cab66c9faa4b7049d5d10293f13bfc7f" maxmem = 500 memory = 500 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "c" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" sdl = 1 vnc = 0 vncunused = 0 keymap = "en-us" disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/xen_reo.img,hda,w" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:72:06:c0,bridge=xenbr1,type=ioemu", "mac=00:16:3e:28:51:79,bridge=xenbr1,type=ioemu" ] serial = "pty" pci = [''0a:0e.0''] When I create "foo", the system boots, but does not load the kernel module * aacraid* which is device 0a:0e.0. reports the following: Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1-5[2430]custom) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:03.0[A] GSI 28 (level,loq) IRQ 17 aacraid: aac_fib_send: first asynchronous command timed out. Usually a result of a PCI interrupt routing problem; Update mother board BIOS or consider utilizing one of the SAFE model kernel options (acpi, apic etc) ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:03.0 disabled aacraid: probe of 0000:00:03.0 failed with error -110 I really need some help with this.
