Re: [Xen-users] "It's disallowed to assign <device> with shared RMRR at <address> for Dom<N>" after upgrading to 4.6

["Peter Gansterer" <peter.gansterer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I want to second that:
I ran into the same issue when I tried to upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 in february.
I didn't spend the time to get into it ... so I'm still at 4.5.

In my case it's an Asrock board with a Sandy Bridge Core-i5 and I assign the 
USB controllers to different domains.
- 00:14.0 xhci (stays at dom0)
- 00:1a.0 ehci (HVM1)
- 00:1d.0 ehci (HVM2)

With 4.5 it works fine, with 4.6 it doesn't.

BUT: I came as far as using "rdm_policy=relaxed" for the USB devices ... the 
error message goes away; but then the win7 HVM won't boot.

Maybe rdm_policy=relaxed works for you.
And I would appreciate further suggestions for my case as well :-)


- peter.
