Hi, Jack.
I set up qemu-kvm on openSUSE 11.3
with 82576 PCI device as you described.
Guest fails to attach with:
igb0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 2.0.1> mem
0xf2060000-0xf2063fff,0xf2064000-0xf2067fff at device 5.0 on pci0
igb0: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt
device_attach: igb0 attach returned 6
i...@pci0:0:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0xa03c8086 chip=0x10ca8086
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
cap 11[40] = MSI-X supports 3 messages in map 0x1c
Did I missed something?
