Re: [Xen-devel] pvops Dom0 graphics doesnt work with Intel i915
Hi Allen,
So this may not be the correct forum to ask this question but I am wondering if a similar workaround has been developed for VT-d in Linux kernel for this problem.
I am trying to boot pvops Linux as Native Linux (2.6.32.21) with VT-d on Lenovo T410 and Intel graphics is not working.
Can someone please let me know?
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi Allen,
Indeed I needed this workaround. Now graphics works fine with VT-d with this xen tree.
Thanks,

Sanjay,
Have you tried the latest xen-unstable staging tree? It has a
workaround for T410 VT-d graphics issue caused by Lenovo BIOS. This might be
the workaround you need:

Hi Konrad,
Unfortunately T410 doesnt have a serial port and neither does the docking
station. I havent had any success with USB-to-Serial port dongles in the past.
is there any way to get the serial port output?
Thanks,
Sanjay

Are there any warnings/debug messages in the serial log?
Please follow
the PVOPS Wiki on how to enable all the debug options.
