Subject: PCI passthrough on Sony Vaio F11 laptop...
Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 00:31:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CDDCE40.9050001@brakkee.org> (raw)
Hi all,
I have KVM running successfully on opensuse 11.3 (64bit) with a opensuse
11.1 guest. I am using hardware virtualization and want to experiment
with PCI passthrough with the (wired) network card on my laptop because
I want to repeat similar steps later on a server (with a TV card). The
main specs of the laptop are Intel Core I7 Q720 1.6GHz with 8MB of memory.
I have followed the instructions on
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization/chap-Virtualization-PCI_passthrough.html.
Everything is successful until I start the domain.
In that case I get the following messages in the logs:

in I also removed the driver for the network card using 'rmmod sky2'.
I have also specified the intel_iommu=on option in the command line (cat
/proc/cmdline gives: root=/dev/system/root resume=/dev/system/swap
splash=silent quiet nomodeset intel_iommu=on vga=0x314). Also, the
output of 'dmesg | grep -i iommu' gives:
[ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/system/root
resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet nomodeset intel_iommu=on
vga=0x314
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/system/root
resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet nomodeset intel_iommu=on
vga=0x314
[ 0.000000] Intel-IOMMU: enabled
So it seems that IOMMU is available.
I read somewhere that there could be a problem in the interrupts and
some users had success by disabling them but I really don't know how to
debug this.
The output of 'cat /proc/interrupts' is as follows:

Do you have any suggestions on how to solve/debug this problem?
