Hi Folks : I am trying to assinga bcm netextreme II 10 G eth device to a guest using PCI passthrough in QEMU.
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711 10-Gigabit PCIe 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711 10-Gigabit PCIe qemu> device_add pci-assign,host=01:00.0,id=e10g The device shows up in the guest but the driver is enable to attach to it : bnx2x 0000:00:05.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKA] -> GSI 10 (level, high) -> IRQ 10 bnx2x 0000:00:05.0: setting latency timer to 64 bnx2x: Cannot find power management capability, aborting bnx2x 0000:00:05.0: PCI INT A disabled bnx2x: probe of 0000:00:05.0 failed with error -5 As you can see, it errs with EIO (-5). Any ideas why this might be the case? I am using 2.6.34.6 in the host, 2.6.27.39 in the guest and qemu 0.12.4 : qemu-system-x86_64 --help QEMU PC emulator version 0.12.4 (qemu-kvm-0.12.4), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard Thanks in advance for the help, Ani. ============================================================ The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
