Hi,
yes, my Motherboard (DX58SO) announces "FLR Capability" - at least it's active
in BIOS:
BIOS:
XD Technology <Enable>
Intel VT <Enable>
Intel VT for Direct I/O (VT-d) <Enable>
Interrupt Remapping <Enable>
FLR Capability <Enable>
But lspci -vv shows for the ATI Card:
ExtTag+ AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE+ FLReset-
OTOH your lspci also shows "FLReset-" - but DomU Reboots work for you, so this
might not be the cause of my problem....
Until now (as you said its working in your setup) i thought it has something
to do with the " FLR complication" , mainly "â Need to save/restore certain
MMIO registers across FLRâs" - Allen M. Kay mentions on Page 11 of this Slide
here:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/wiki/images/b/be/2011-forum-%24graphics-direct-
assignment.pdf
But thats just a wild guess by me ...
Any other hints/thoughts on this?
Greetings!
Tobias
