Hi,

My Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26666 installation is broken. The

Please let me know how to solve this bug.

I don't know how to resolve it.
But if you want to do IGD passthrough, you can try with Xen 4.3.0
release with latest traditional qemu.
It can also successful for me with Xen 4.3.0 release with latest
traditional qemu.

Best Regards,
      Yongjie (Jay)


Thank you very much.

Hi Yongjie,

I tried to use Xen 4.3.0 official release and Linux kernel 3.8.1 but
IGD passthrough is still unsuccessful. Yellow triangle with
exclamation mark and error code 43 still show up in Device Manager for
Intel HD Graphics 4600.

I have attached my configuration files. What else can I do?

I have also filed a bug for Xen 4.3-unstable changeset 26666 at
http://bugzilla-archived.xenproject.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1869

Hi All,

Please check through my configuration files to see if there is any error
or mistake.

Thank you very much.

Have you tried a vBAR=pBAR patch?

See here for more details:

http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/12/07/860-xen-42unstable-patches-for-vga-pass-through


This is mainly aimed at Nvidia GeForce cards (GeForce drivers don't
handle the case where vBAR != pBAR, but Quadro drivers do - I modified
my GeForce cards to equivalent Quadros to work around the issue). But
- it may also help with your situation. It is entirely plausible that
your GPU is having problems finding some of it's BARs, which might
also explain why it is stuck in a low resolution / 4-bit colour mode.

I am not sure how much you might need to adapt this and which patches
you can skip or will have to modify for IGD instead of GeForce, but
it's probably worth a shot.

Hi Gordan,

According to Yongjie from Intel, he did not apply any patches to his Xen
4.3-unstable changeset 26666. Anyway, I am using Intel HD Graphics 4600,
so David Techer's NVIDIA patches don't apply to me.

Could you check my configuration files to see if there are any mistakes?
Especially /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

I didn't see anything obviously wrong, but it is often the case that even though the hardware might be similar to what other people are using, the BIOS may be very different and/or very broken. The vBAR=pBAR approach works around some issues caused by BIOS or hardware bugs, hence why I thought it might be worth a try adapting those for your system.

Gordan
