Hello @ All
I started a new Xmas holday Project, setting up a Xen Linux system that's capable of running a Windows domU with a working Graphics adapter.
Therefore i have spent a little money and put to gether a system:
My Hardware is:
MB: Asus P8c ws
Latest available Bios Installed VT-d enabled - Prio to iGPU
CPU: Xen E3-1245-v2
GPU: ASUS HD7970 (Ati Radeon)
Im in contact with asus support to get FLreset+ not - in vBios
SSD
Then i installed xen on fedora 17 and set up a windows domU using SDL and updated it to the latest state.
Now i want to get pci passthrough working in the Win7 domU so i edited grub.cfg and added the necessary boot parameter
xen-pciback.hide=(01:00.0)(01:00.1)
Now when i boot the kernel i get the kernel messeages, but not the blue loading bar.
It resets the screen from the intel GPU to a higher resolution, does DHCP and other important stuff. Sadly after that i get a black screen and the Num Lock does not change on the keyboard after that.
But logging in using ssh works. Starting the domU with passed through ATI GPU through ssh does not work. :/
So then i tried Fedora 18 (beta) same setup, same error
So i went to try debian sid and compiled a custom kernel with options, compiled and installed the latest xen, Verified that it can load the windows domu in SDL mode
then tried pcipassthrough, but same blackscreen and no Numlock on keyboard ...
So i tried different kernel version 3.4.9 3.4.22 ... and others
of which none worked.
By the way here are the kernel options i used:
Parallel im trying this on a Debian install using multiple kernel versions all compiled with
Now i ask myself whats wrong?
Others have reported sucess even without flreset+
And others again have the same error but with nvidia cards:
