AW: AW: [Xen-users] Paramters for PCI passthrough in config file



Hi,

as I expected. Brooktree and Philips attached to the same bridge. If you are not
able to patch Xen before building it, I think you have to find a combination 
that
comes out of the box.

BR,
Carsten.

Unfortunally I'm not familar with patching.

On my system pci looks

It was working with Kernel 2.6.18 under debian etch. Now I installed 
lenny, had ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 before. xmI will use a small script to 
pass the parameters...

#/bash/sh
xm create lenny50.cfg -c pci='11:00.0' pci='11:09.0'

This brings in the domU the following list:

lenny50:~# lspci -tv
-[0000:00]-+-00.0  Philips Semiconductors SAA7146
           \-01.0  Philips Semiconductors SAA7146

It should work.

Maybe one day there will be version with all the benefits and a unified 
interface...
Thanks

Hans
