Try assigning a different slot to the passed-through adapter and the lsi. For me it helped to put the lsi on one slot behind the auto-assigned (-device lsi,addr=5). I guess classic device assignment cannot support INTx sharing as the kernel IRQ injection path does not inform user space about the device state /wrt IRQs. Should be catch and reject this, or try to fix it up be moving the assigned device around, Alex? Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
