Hi all, I have an i7-3770 which has the Intel HD 4000 graphics. I''ve been trying to pass it through to DomU with no success. With a Linux DomU, the i915 module simply will not load because intel_agp is not loaded properly when it cannot find the AGP bridge. ( With a Win7 DomU, it BSODs straight away during the boot with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. With a WinXP DomU, it got further but the card is not working as described in the Device Manager, saying there is not enough memory to use the device. Is there any pointers on where i should trace and debug this? Thanks! Regards, Howell.
Hello. I have success with Intel HD 3000 pass throught in hvm guest. But guest system is quite unstable. Can you provide me hvm guest config file?

I have not tried winXP or Linux. It should be said that it will not work if you boot in EFI mode, since the VGA-bios is not available to the linux kernel. Best regards Kristian Hagsted Rasmussen

So it is a known issue to use more than 3G of memory? How do I make sure I''m not booting the EFI mode? I noticed my bios has several settings about UEFI or legacy, and so I should set them all to legacy? Is there any other things i should make sure? Thanks! Regards, Howell.
Hi,> I have success with Intel HD 3000 pass throught in hvm guest. But > guest system is quite unstable. > Can you provide me hvm guest config file?My hvm guest config file is quite straight forward. I guess the important ones are: name="domu-win7" builder="hvm" memory=8192 acpi=1 apic=1 viridian=1 pci_msitranslate=0 pci_power_mgmt=0 gfx_passthru=1 xen_platform_pci=1 disk=[ ''phy:/dev/xen/domu-win7,hda,w'' ] # 00:02.0 is Intel HD 4000, 00:1d.0 is a usb bus pci = [ ''00:02.0'', ''00:1d.0'' ] I have also tried switching things like pci_mistranslate and gfx_passthru but it''s the same. And btw I have tried Xen 4.2.x and 4.3 upstream hg tree and results are the same. Thanks! Regards, Howell.

I am not sure of the amount at which this problem is solved, but you could try with more than 3GB to check if it works.> > How do I make sure I''m not booting the EFI mode?

Most distros will not use EFI as default, as far as I''m aware. For a command I cannot remember, but you could check which bootloader you have installed, the EFI versions are called something as grub-efi and elilo. Kind regards Kristian Hagsted Rasmussen

But it turned out it was only when i was trying to do vga passthrough with an nvidia card with the nvidia patches to xen. I had tried using 8G of memory for a both win7 and linux hvm, with an ati card vga passthrough and they seem to work well.> Which distro''s do you use as dom0?

I have also tried switching all the uefi settings in the bios to legacy, but it doesn''t fix the intel hd4000 problem. Regards, Howell.
Hi all, I have just done a test with a win7 hvm installation from scratch, with 2G of memory. It all works, until I install the Intel HD 4000 driver, and then reboot, then it won''t boot anymore with the BSOD of SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. -- Regards, Howell.

That''s good to hear. Guess we''ll just have to watch that thread then. -- Regards, Howell.
