Re: [Xen-users] Successful Xen VGA Passthrough with Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6450 Display Card

[Teo En Ming <singapore.mr.teo.en.ming@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Gordan,

I don't know. I don't reboot Windows 8 HVM domU. I always do a proper 
shutdown of Windows 8 HVM domU, then followed by an attempt to start it 
by using the command "sudo xl create /etc/xen/win8.cfg".

Yours sincerely,
