Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have been struggling as of late to successfully configure a pci passthrough using libvirt with kvm. Hoping someone can shed some light on the problem. Overall my experience with virtualization limited is so please forgive. The guest runs fine till passthrough is configured. I am using virt-manager. This has been tried on both a Fedora17 x86_64 and Arch Linux x86_64 build with pretty much identical errors.<br>
</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have carefully reviewed my hardware and purchased vt-d enabled parts where needed. vt-d is enabled for my chipset, cpu and in it's enabled in the bios.<br></div><div>on both systems I complied a custom kernel to enable DMA Remapping, PCI-stub and set CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON=y</div>
<div>using kernel boot param: intel_iommu=on (not sure if overkill)</div><div>have kvm module option allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1</div><div>selinux set to permissive mode in fedora. not used in arch<br></div><br>when launching I 1) modprobe pci_stub, 2) virsh nodedev-dettach pci
device, 3) load guest using virtmanager... it get the following <br><br>the log outputs <br><i><br>libvirt error window</i><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">
