Re: [Xen-users] Unable to start Windows 8 HVM guest with Xen VGA Passthrough with Xen 4.2.1-pre

Dear Casey,

I had dom0_mem set to 1024 and 4096 as well, but it did not help. I am still getting the errors.

I have 6 GB of memory installed. How much memory should I assign to dom0_mem?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Hello Teo,

That output is identical to the errors I had a few days ago, which was related to available RAM.

Ian helped me debug it, said xl was having a ballooning problem and couldn't free up enough RAM in time to start my HVM.

His suggested solution was to assign a fixed amount of RAM to Dom0 and turn off ballooning.

Prior to this I had been letting Dom0 take all the RAM, but this problem was fixed by adding dom0_mem to grub.cfg and setting a fixed value.

Have you tried re-running the xl create command after the first error? There are commands to move RAM around at run-time as well that you could try.

Hi,

I have applied Xen VGA passthrough patches from David Techer's
personal website to Xen 4.2.1-pre source tree. Everything compiled and
installed smoothly. But when I tried to start Windows 8 HVM domU with
VGA passthrough, it gave me the following error:

xc: error: unable to allocate memory to the HVM guest. (16: device or
resource busy): Internal error.

There are no issues with Xen 4.2-unstable changeset 25099 however.

Attached are screenshots of the errors for Xen 4.2.1-pre and Xen configuration files.

The following are links to screenshots of the errors for Xen 4.2.1-pre.
