Hello!
I ask friendly for advice before I give up:
A DVB PCI card TechniSat SkyStar HD2 DVB-S2 is installed in a Dell Optiplex 7040 MT with Intel 6400 Core i5 4x2.70 GHz CPU.
In an LXC I can pass the DVB card into a yaVDR on an Ubuntu.
The following lines are added to the configuration:
/etc/pve/lxc/105.conf
So far, so good.
But I would rather use VDR in a VM with the MiniDVBLinux (MLD) distribution, including kvm-virtio driver.
I have followed these instructions: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough
Everything seems to be right afterwards.
The attempt to start the VM with MLD always ends with this error message:
root@server:~# qm start 107
kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:03:00.0,id=hostpci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10: vfio 0000:03:00.0: Failed to set up TRIGGER eventfd signaling for interrupt INTX-0: VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS failure: Device or resource busy
start failed: QEMU exited with code 1
As soon as I remove the entry
In several articles I read that the SkyStar 2 is difficult because of the interrupts.
There is only one PCI slot on the motherboard, so it is not possible to change to another one.
As a test, I attached a DVBSky S960 via USB to the same Proxmox PC and passed it to the VM with MLD via the GUI. That went then "just like that". However, I am unhappy with the S960 for other reasons and wish it would work with the SkyStar 2 PCI card.
Maybe there is someone who knows a trick?
Or perhaps it is easiest to buy another DVB card.
Walter
