Re: [Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Requesting Assistance from Intel Engineers on Intel Integrated Graphics (IGD) VGA Passthrough for Xen 4.0.1-RELEASE and pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.x

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) åæé of Singapore" <space.time.universe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Weidong,

Thank you for your response.

I have had great success in VGA passthrough with Xen 3.5-unstable but 
not so much for Xen 4.0.1. The system is very unstable and Windows XP 
Home Edition HVM domU crashes with a BSOD after a short while.
I don't think the memory parameter in Windows XP HVM domU configuration 
file impacts system stability but I will give it a try.
Thank you very much.
