Re: [Xen-devel] 4.2.2 pci-passthrough crashes Dell Poweredge R710

[Alexander Bienzeisler <chosi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Konrad,

i pass it exactly the same way i did with 4.2.1. I have changed nothing. 
Right now i reverted to 4.2.1 and i'm not seeing this anymore. The 
problem right now is, that it seems like the hard crashes this corrupted 
my HVM LV filesystems and stuff is broken now. However, this is not 
related. I don't see this with 4.2.1.
passing through like this:

module options: xen-pciback.hide=(00:1a.0), which is an usb controller
win2k8.cfg (xl): pci = [ '00:1a.0' ]
xl pci-assignable-list output: 0000:00:1a.0

it worked flawlessly before and started breaking with 4.2.2 - i'm 
actually pretty sure this is not a hardware issue, since i can't 
reproduce it with 4.2.1. I think i might lack the skills to provide 
proper logs and crashdumps of whatever sort. That's all i can tell you 
right now.
cheers,
Alex
