[Xen-devel] 答复: PCI passthrough will cause unknown device appearance in device manager of Windows OS via xenstore keys
>The patch, unchanged from before, is >https://github.com/xenserver/xen-4.7.pg/blob/master/master/0001-libxl-Don-t-insert-PCI-device-into-xenstore-for-HVM-.patch This patch means that no xenstore keys will be created for HVM. For this, I have one question that : libxl__device_pci_add --> libxl_pcidev_assignable --> libxl_device_pci_assignable_list --> get_all_assigned_devices this call stack will happen when creating pci passthrough vm. If no backend keys exist in xenstore, get_all_assigned_devices() will not work. Because get_all_assigned_devices needs to get info from backend xenstore keys. So am I right? 发件人: Andrew Cooper [mailto:andrew.coop...@citrix.com] 发送时间: 2017年4月10日 20:46 收件人: Wei Liu ; Ian Jackson 抄送: lidonglin ; xen-devel@lists.xen.org; Xuquan (Quan Xu) ; sstabell...@kernel.org; Wei Liu (wei.l...@citrix.com) ; Yanqiangjun ; Fanhenglong ; dengkai (A) 主题: Re: [Xen-devel] PCI passthrough will cause unknown device appearance in device manager of Windows OS via xenstore keys On 10/04/17 12:24, lidonglin wrote: Hi all: I have one question about PCI passthrough.

[Xen-devel] Question about PEX boot on Xen with OVMF as bios
Hi all: Recentlly, I want to use PXE boot on Xen with OVMF as bios. At beginning, I just add rtl8139 as guest nic device, and I compile a release ovmf. When I enter into uefi, I can't find network boot menu. According to edk2/OvmfPkg/README file, I know there is a virtio-net driver build into ovmf. So I replace rtl8139 with virtio-net. When I enter into uefi boot menu again. I see the network boot entry, I'm very happy. But after I choose network boot entry, uefi can't display pxe boot process, only black sceen with one while dot at the beginning of the screen. I try e1000 according to edk2/OvmfPkg/README file, and I get the same result. Except e1000 and virtio-net, I can't see the network boot entry if I use any other nics. Who can tell me how to use pxe boot on Xen with ovmf. Thanks. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
Re: [Xen-devel] [edk2] Windows 8 64bit Guest BSOD when using OVMF to boot and *install* from CDROM(when configured with more than 4G memory)
Hi all: Did you encounter this BSOD problem ? I try git://xenbits.xen.org/ovmf.git and other ovmf repos. I found installing win8 64bit os (memory > 4G) with OVMF on xen hypervisor always failed with BSOD. I also tried to do some thing on kvm, there is no this problem. I don't what's the difference. > -Original Message- > From: Ian Campbell [mailto:ian.campb...@citrix.com] > Sent: 2015年5月8日 20:05 > To: Wei Liu > Cc: Laszlo Ersek; Maoming; wangxin (U); edk2-de...@lists.sourceforge.net; > lidonglin; xen-devel@lists.xen.org; Fanhenglong; Herongguang (Stephen) > Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] [edk2] Windows 8 64bit Guest BSOD when using OVMF > to boot and *install* from CDROM(when configured with more than 4G > memory) > > On Fri, 2015-05-08 at 13:00 +0100, Wei Liu wrote: > > On Fri, May 08, 2015 at 10:39:43AM +0100, Ian Campbell wrote: > > > On Fri, 2015-05-08 at 07:31 +0100, Wei Liu wrote: > > > > On Thu, May 07, 2015 at 10:29:55AM +0100, Ian Campbell wrote: > > > > > On Thu, 2015-05-07 at 09:02 +0200, Laszlo Ersek wrote: > > > > > > (Plus, you are cloning a git repo that may or may not be > > > > > > identical to the (semi-)official edk2 git repo.) > > > > > > > > > > FWIW git://xenbits.xen.org/ovmf.git is a direct descendant of the > > > > > > > > The most up to date tested branch is > > > > > > > > git://xenbits.xen.org/osstest/ovmf.git xen-tested-master > > > > > > Which branch is the default if you just clone the repo? > > > > > > > The xen-tested-master is the only branch in that tree, so checking out > > that repo without specifying a branch will leave you in detached head > > state. > > OK, that's better than some random untested version from whenever the > tree was created at least! > > Ian > ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
Re: [Xen-devel] [edk2] Windows 8 64bit Guest BSOD when using OVMF to boot and *install* from CDROM(when configured with more than 4G memory)
I just git clone ovmf from official edk2 git repo ang git latest qemu 2.3.50. But the issue still exists. Besides, I find windows server 2012 has the same BSOD issue but windows 8.1 works normally. -Original Message- From: Laszlo Ersek [mailto:ler...@redhat.com] Sent: 2015年5月7日 15:03 To: lidonglin Cc: edk2-de...@lists.sourceforge.net; wangxin (U); Fanhenglong; Herongguang (Stephen); Maoming; xen-devel@lists.xen.org Subject: Re: [edk2] Windows 8 64bit Guest BSOD when using OVMF to boot and *install* from CDROM(when configured with more than 4G memory) On 05/07/15 08:47, lidonglin wrote: > Dear all： > New issue： > Guest BSOD and restart when using OVMF to boot and install windows8 > 64bit OS(which owns more than 4G memmory)。 > My environment as below: > xen 4.5.0 > qemu 2.2.1 > ovmf git clone from git://xenbits.xen.org/ovmf.git (commit > a065efc7c7ce8bb3e5cb3e463099d023d4a92927) > > I just git clone xen from git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git. configure it and > parameters as below: > ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --libdir=/usr/lib/ --enable-ovmf then make && > make install, after that I reboot my host OS(SuSE 11.3). > I write a cfg file win8.cfg as below: > builder = "hvm" > name = "win8" > memory = 2048 > maxmem = 2048 > vcpus = 4 > bios = "ovmf" > boot = "d" > disk = [ > '/test/Windows8-ReleasePreview-64bit-ChineseSimplified.iso,,hdc,cdrom','/test/win8.img,raw,xvda,rw' > ] usb = 1 usbdevice="tablet" > vnc = 1 > vnclisten = '9.61.1.3' > vncdisplay = 0 > > # xl create win8.cfg > after the command I use vnc client to connect guest, win8 guest works > normally. > then I modify the memory size and change it to 8192MB, save and start win8 > guest again. > after ovmf bios logo, windows8 logo appears, go on for a while, the guest > stops and restart, then stop （sometimes BSOD，but no error code on the screen) > and restart repeat the process > > I tried some different memory sizes, the result is guest can work normally > when it has 4320MB memory at most, but it stop and restart when it has lager > than 4320MB memory CC'ing the xen-devel mailing list, as I have no environment to reproduce this in.

[Xen-devel] Windows 8 64bit Guest BSOD when using OVMF to boot and *install* from CDROM(when configured with more than 4G memory)
Dear all： New issue： Guest BSOD and restart when using OVMF to boot and install windows8 64bit OS(which owns more than 4G memmory)。 My environment as below: xen 4.5.0 qemu 2.2.1 I just git clone xen from git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git. configure it and parameters as below: ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --libdir=/usr/lib/ --enable-ovmf then make && make install, after that I reboot my host OS(SuSE 11.3). I write a cfg file win8.cfg as below: builder = "hvm" name = "win8" memory = 2048 maxmem = 2048 vcpus = 4 bios = "ovmf" boot = "d" disk = [ '/test/Windows8-ReleasePreview-64bit-ChineseSimplified.iso,,hdc,cdrom','/test/win8.img,raw,xvda,rw' ] usb = 1 usbdevice="tablet" vnc = 1 vnclisten = '9.61.1.3' vncdisplay = 0 # xl create win8.cfg after the command I use vnc client to connect guest, win8 guest works normally. then I modify the memory size and change it to 8192MB, save and start win8 guest again. after ovmf bios logo, windows8 logo appears, go on for a while, the guest stops and restart, then stop （sometimes BSOD，but no error code on the screen) and restart repeat the process I tried some different memory sizes, the result is guest can work normally when it has 4320MB memory at most, but it stop and restart when it has lager than 4320MB memory Li Donglin ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
