[Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-users] XEN 4.1.1 + IGD passthrough and Intel DQ67SW, i7-2600

[Erik Lind <zod@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pasi,
and thank you for your reply.

Currently I use Debian squeeze as Dom0,
I use a kernel from the devel/xen-pciback-0.6.1 branch at 
git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git. It is a 3.0.0-rc4 
based kernel.
I have been trying for the last day to get some other Dom0 kernel to 
work but I have so far been unable to get the pciback module to work on 
those kernels (such as the master branch or stable/2.6.39.x). I do 
prefer a fairly late kernel to get problem support for the motherboard 
and cpu.
I have been using a few different Intel drivers, the ones included in 
Windows 7 which are from March and newer ones ( from mid August) but 
with the same result.
I have been trying with a few different boot options, but the last try 
was with the most basic configuration possible. (included as grub.conf.gz)
Also included is the somewhat messy vm config file, xen_htpc1.cfg.gz

I have included startup logs for two different runs, one with Windows 
standard vga drivers (taged with svga_) and with Intel drivers (taged 
with intel_). Not sure if that gives any further clues.
I also added info from lspci -vv.
