Hi,
I got a problem when
prepared to pass-thru 82576 ethernet card with SR-IOV support.
The 82576 card is
build-in on the board. When loading igb driver for the card, dmesg show some
errors like:
pci 0000:05:00.0: BAR
10: can't allocate mem resource [0xfbf00000-0xfbefffff]
…
igb 0000:05:00.0: not
enough MMIO resources for SR-IOV
igb 0000:05:00.0:
Failed to initialize SR-IOV virtualization
Some system
information from DMI as below:
XEN 4.0.0, DOM0
kernel 2.6.32, igb driver 2.2.9

LAN option rom, the

The same igb driver
works well on a dell server with 82576 adapter. I thought BIOS got some problem
to assign right memory for VFs and I tried to pass *pci=assign-busses*
to kernel, but it still failed. Does the 82576 card SR-IOV need a BIOS enable
and a *REBOOT* to make the function active? Can anyone just give
me some ideas? Thanks.
