Dear All,
I have just finished configuring, building/compiling, and installing Xen
4.0.1-rc6-pre hypervisor and pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.19 in my Fedora 11
x86_64 Linux system.
I can boot up the Xen 4.0.1-rc6-pre hypervisor and paravirt-ops dom0
kernel 2.6.32.19 combination successfully to a text console, load the
driver for the Intel IGD, start the X Windowing Server (startx), and go
into GNOME Desktop Environment. Networking is working fine and I am able
to surf the web with my internet connection. Inside the GNOME Graphical
User Interface (GUI), I am able to start Windows XP Home Edition HVM domU
guest operating system without VGA passthrough successfully, albeit it is
very very slow.
Then I rebooted to try VGA passthrough of the Intel IGD to Windows XP Home
Edition HVM domU. It doesn't seem to work. At the moment I execute the
command "xm create winxphome32", my LCD monitor immediately goes blank
with the "NO SIGNAL" label. And it stays there. So, in conclusion, I can't
passthrough the IGD on my Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB with Xen
4.0.1-rc6-pre and pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.19 yet.
In the following sections, I am providing a lot of technical details to
allow you guys to help me troubleshoot the problem. Basically, I went
through the night without sleeping at all. It's 7:16 A.M. Singapore Time
now and I haven't sleep yet. I will probably try to troubleshoot with a
serial console later.
Yeah, you need a serial console to troubleshoot it..
