[Xen-users] RE: Xen4 / Intel DX58SO Mobo / VT-d not working

[chris <tknchris@xxxxxxxxx>]

When reading the vtdhowto I noticed the ability to set iommu=verbose.
Here is that output, I don't know if it helps at all to figure out
what is wrong.

Hello,

I've previously been successful with Xen4 and VT-d on other systems. I
am having trouble getting VT-d passthrough working to a WinXP domain
with DX58SO (Q45) motherboard and i7 930 CPU. VT-d is enabled in bios,
xm info shows hvm_directio capability, I have iommu=1 set, I have the
devices bound to pciback on dom0 cmdline, xm
pci-list-assignable-devices shows the devices as assignable. When I
attempt to start the VM I get the error:

Error: Failed to assign device to IOMMU
(0000:02:00.0@100,msitranslate=1,power_mgmt=0)

Below is all the information I can think of that would be useful to
help debug it:

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious but I've been at it
for a while now and have run out of brain power. Anyone have any idea
what might be wrong?
