Can you post your domU config?

I tried several things but couldn't get my domU running with vga passthrough on upstream qemu. without vnc or splice, the domU is not created, as you noted, but with splice, i got the same error message. the only way i could get it running was with vnc, but in this case and with vga=none the domU would not even get to the boot screen and would sit idling at 2,5% cpu in xl top while my first cpu core (exclussivly for dom0) will go to 100% constant in htop. with vnc and stvga, i would get past the boot screen but would get the same behaviour 2 seconds into the boot process.

So I am wondering if you do something else differently then I do (like viridian, pci_power_management, pci_permissive, xen_platform_pci etc).

Well it is strange that it still needs vnc or spice to start. I had disable both and xl failed to start new instance of hvm

This is great to hear because this abbility is in fact already there: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=2e5738ff47b9d2e1948024100f87b1a25fcf004a

Thanks for the info. Will do some test runs later. :)

Well i just pass my 6450 to 8.1 as a secondary video card and i can reboot without having to reject the card first.Â
kvm just tells qemu to turnoff vga with vga=0 I think that a simple solutions would be to add ability to pass vga=0 to qemu.

No, qemu traditional does not support spice.. this was something introduced to qemu upstream.

But great to heare that both this now works for you and that the 4GB bug is finally fixed in xen unstable!

Would you mind sharing your domU config? I never got primary passthrough running with qemu upstream and had to always fall back to qemu-traditional. Iirc, you were one of the guys who used nvidia cards with the extra patches, weren't you? Can you successfully reboot your domU without rebooting the dom0 (basically my last big issue with vga passthrough with AMD).

Thanks

I run xen 4.4 on arch linux with qemu upstream. I tried to use qemu-traditional with direct passing of video card but it sits at 0 log show something about no cpu. I guess qemu traditional does not support spice ?Â

The only reason I'm thinking it's a issue in Windows is because 4GB is
the per-process (and per-driver, and also on the really basic versions,
system) memory limit, and there are known issues with some drivers when
you approach this limit. ÂMy guess is that there is some amount of
memory that the driver is mapping from the card, and it is also trying
to map space equal to the physical RAM size for the CPU, which in turn
adds up to more than 4G.
