History

I have 100% success in Xen VGA Passthrough with Xen 3.5-unstable with my first Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card in 2009, which is 3 years ago. Then my first Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card overheated and malfunctioned. So I bought a 2nd Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS VGA card several months ago in March 2012 for S$44, to replace the first card. At that point in time, Xen was already of version 4.2-unstable. I have tried to passthrough my 2nd Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS, which is only partially working, or partial success. In Windows 8 HVM domU, you will see a yellow triangle with exclamation mark and error code 43 in Device Manager for the 2nd Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS. In Windows XP Home Edition HVM domU, you will see a yellow circle with exclamation mark and error code 10 in Device Manager for the 2nd Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS.

Then I noticed Jean David Techer uses a Geforce 560 Ti for his Xen VGA Passthrough. So 1-2 weeks ago I bought a EVGA Geforce GTX 560 1 GB GDDR5 for S$269. Same thing. Xen VGA Passthrough is only partially working or partial success. So I went back to the computer shop and exchanged my EVGA Geforce GTX 560 with a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 1 GB GDDR5, which costs S$289. Again, Xen VGA Passthrough is only partially working or partial success. In Windows 8 HVM domU, you will see a yellow triangle with exclamation mark and error code 43 in Device Manager for the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560. In Windows XP Home Edition HVM domU, you will see a yellow circle with exclamation mark and error code 10 in Device Manager for the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560.

The Challenge

My computer hardware specifications:

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2300 @ 2.8 GHz
Motherboard: Intel DQ45CB Desktop Board with VT-d enabled
VGA Card: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 1 GB GDDR5
Memory: 6 GB

My computer software specifications:

Host operating system: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Desktop Linux
Xen Hypervisor version: (a) Xen 4.2-unstable Changeset 25099 (b) Xen 4.2.1-pre (c) Xen 4.3-unstable Changeset 25993
Linux Dom0 Kernel: (a) 3.5.4 (b) 3.6.0-rc7
Windows HVM domU: (a) Windows XP Home Edition SP3 (b) Windows 8 Release Preview 64-bit

Manuals which I have followed in getting Xen VGA Passthrough done:

(1) http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Building_and_Installing_Xen_4.x_and_Linux_Kernel_3.x_on_Ubuntu_and_Debian_Linux

(2) http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough_to_Windows_8_with_Xen_4.2-unstable

The above 2 are manuals which I have written myself, after studying several Xen Wiki Pages and Jean David Techer's notes.

Now, the above 2 manuals are the same manuals which I have used to obtain 100% success in Xen VGA Passthrough for Frank Lyon's NVIDIA Quadro 6000. Yes, 100% success. Absolutely no yellow triangle with exclamation mark and error code 43 in Windows 7 and Windows 8 HVM domU. It is an irony and a joke that, with the same set of manuals which I have written, I cannot get 100% success in Xen VGA Passthrough with my very own display cards. Frank Lyon's NVIDIA Quadro 6000 costs S$6000++, and I can't afford it.

So now, the problem stands. I get a yellow triangle with exclamation mark and error code 43 in device manager for Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 in Windows 8 HVM domU and a yellow circle with exclamation mark and error code 10 in device manager for Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 in Windows XP Home Edition HVM domU.

The Reward

1. USD$50 in cash
2. Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS PCI Express x16 VGA card (costs S$44)

How to Get the Reward

If I can say that you have solved my Xen VGA Passthrough problem 100%, you get the reward! Basically, the idea is to get rid of the yellow triangle with exclamation mark and error code 43 in Windows 8 HVM domU and the yellow circle with exclamation mark and error code 10 in Windows XP HVM domU.

Hence,

(1) If you can tell me off-hand the solution which leads to my Xen VGA Passthrough problem being solved 100%, you get the reward. OR

(2) You have spotted mistakes or errors in the manuals which I have written, leading to my Xen VGA Passthrough problem being solved 100%. You get the reward. OR

(3) You have a VT-d capable motherboard and processor, and a compatible NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560 like mine, and follows the 2 manuals which I have written for your Xen VGA Passthrough needs. If you can obtain 100% success, please tell me the mistakes or errors in my manuals, which leads to my Xen VGA Passthrough problem being solved 100%. You get the reward.

100% success means no error code 43 and no error code 10.

For a start, you may follow the thread series "Help Needed from Xen Developers: Nasty Yellow Triangle with Exclamation Mark and Error Code 43 in Device Manager in Windows 8 HVM domU" in the xen-users and xen-devel mailing lists.

Please note that the prize money of US$50 is guaranteed and there is only one winner. There is no closing date for this challenge.
