Re: [Xen-users] GPU passthrough with xen 4.2.1 on ubuntu 12.10



Did you try other devices, such as your onboard sound card, your onboard USB controllers, etc.? Maybe your board doesn't do passthrough properly.

Or did you try another PCIe port for the card? Maybe there are bugs where the addresses overlap with some other device, but in another slot it wouldn't happen.

First of all, thank you for the suggestions.  I've now re-installed windows and I've tried driver versions 12.3, 12.8 and 13.1 all with and without the CCC as I read in various places that it can cause problems.  For 13.1 I never get anywhere close as per my previous messages.  For 12.3 and 12.8 I at least get a BSOD,

Having the windows logo freeze in the VNC window has been my experience with GPU passthrough as well.

Hi,

I believe that the Windows logo freezing in the vnc window is normal behaviour when secondary GPU passthrough is working as it should, since the display should be handed over to the GPU. At least that was the case before when I was passing through a HD6850 card as secondary to win7 using xl. But you should expect output on the GPU, of course.

Have you tried different versions of the catalyst driver? I think that some users have reported problems with the latest one (13-something).

Hi all,

I've managed to get a windows 7 x64 hvm to boot and install and I'm now looking to pass through a HD 7970 as a secondary GPU.  in order to prepare the devices for passthrough I've used

xl pci-assignable-add 83:00.0
xl pci-assignable-add 83:00.1

Where I've identified the device pci ids using lspci.  This works fine and the devices appear when I call 'xl pci-assignable-list'. After adding them to the vm config (see below) I was able to get the vm to boot and the devices appeared in device manager.  Installing the ATI drivers however has meant that on further boots the  machine never gets past the windows logo in the VNC window and no output is generated from the ATI card.  It simply freezes there and the only way I can get back into windows is via safe mode, even after uninstalling the ATI software.

Has anybody else experienced similar issues or have any advice as to how to get this to work?  I'm a bit stumped and the wiki implies that this should 'just work'.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Matt
