Hello,

As in the other threads I've PCI passthrough configured:
On the Proxmox host I do nothing with the PCI-card I want to use for "pci-passthrough". For example, I have not disabled it in the host,
also I have not disable a module, because for this PCI-card there is no module in the host. I'm not sure if that caused the fault.
The VM who should get the pci-card is Ubuntu Server 11.04

the VM config:

Code: 
net0: virtio=0A:22:B1:6B:00:E9,bridge=vmbr0
ide2: local:iso/ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom
name: vdr
bootdisk: virtio0
virtio0: local:113/vm-113-disk-1.raw
cores: 2
ostype: l26
memory: 2048
sockets: 1
hostpci0: 03:00.0

In the BIOS of the Supermicro X8SIL-F Bord I activate the Vt-d an the output of dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU is:

Code: 
root@fcprox01:# dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU

The Kernel parameter is:
Code: 
root@fcprox01:/boot# cat /etc/default/grub | grep iommu
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"



The PCI-Card in the Proxmox host I mean is:
Code: 
root@fcprox01:# lspci

03:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 (rev 02)

The error in the syslog I think is the line "kvm_iommu_map_guest: No interrupt remapping support, disallowing device assignment. Re-enble with "allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1" module option.

Hello, can someone tell me whether the following kernel options are already turned on?
Support for DMA Remapping Devices" to "*"
"Enable DMA Remapping Devices" to "*"
Click to expand...
Or do I have to recompile the kernel? Just as in this thread ...

I found another post in this context: Disable device assignment without interrupt But I do not understand what I can do with it.

my proxmox version is:

That should be enabled (see (/boot/config-*))
Click to expand...

But I can not find a line with the word remapping:
Code: 
root@fcprox01:/boot# cat  config-2.6.32-6-pve | grep -i remapping

And the other question is what to do with the line:
Code: 
"kvm_iommu_map_guest: No interrupt remapping support, disallowing device assignment. Re-enble with "allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1" module option.
there are somewhere a possibility to switch it on?
EDIT:
I found some different Parameter for the VMID.conf and pci-passthrough:
Code: 
## hostpci0: 03:00.0
## args: -pcidevice host=03:00.0
## args: -device pci-assign,host=03:00.0,id=hostpci0
which parameters are correct for proxmox 2.0 and my solution?

Please I would also like to know the answer to this question. Anyone?
 
Yes,

Code: 
  hostpci0: xx:xx.x

For example here my VMID.conf:

Code:

net0: virtio=0A:22:B1:6B:00:E9,bridge=vmbr0

hostpci0: 03:00.0

But have also a look at here :confused:
 
Hello,
Now I had three months of a stable system based on PCI passthrough ...
since the last kernel update, it's over.

Has anything changed with respect to PCI passthrough?
Or in relation to IRQ remapping or whatever?

some syslog messages from the proxmox host, if I start the VM 112 in question

Re: PCI Passthrough - No interrupt remapping support [solved]

Indeed
the reason was the new version of pve-qemu-kvm: 1.0-7
after a downgrade to the version 1.0-3 it works as before

what I have done is:

wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/d....0-3_amd64.deb
dpkg -i pve-qemu-kvm_1.0-3_amd64.deb

all machines restart

Re: PCI Passthrough - No interrupt remapping support [solved]

Hi,
since more than a half year last weekend I try
Code: 
aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade

an now with the new versions there are no problems with pci passthrough - like bevor
with pve-qemu-kvm version <= 1.0-5
This problem for me is solved -

thank you
