I don’t know a lot about this stuff, but couldn’t you put the pciback module in
your initrd instead of doing all that manual stuff?

Hi Mark!
Thanks for the reply and clarification!
Just an update to all on the list, I decided to use the stock Xen linux kernel
from CentOS and only recompiled Xen 3.2.1 itself in another thread which I
started and updated here on Xen-users. The recompiled kernel based off of the
CentOS source worked, but it was behaving a bit "odd" so I blew it all away and
started over. Turns out I didn't need to recompile the CentOS kernel to add
VT-d support. I would of liked to have pciback module compiled directly into
the CentOS kernel, but I'm just unbinding things at boot and loading the
pciback module manually upon startup... which works fine for me!
Thanks, all!
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi All,
I haven't tried to pciback a device yet and setup an HVM but finally got
to a point where I think I have VT-d working, but wanted to make sure this
looks right from my "xm dmesg" output:
(XEN) Intel VT-d has been enabled

Only concerns I have are:
(XEN) xenoprof: Initialization failed. Intel processor model 23 for P6
class family is not supported
That's nothing to do with VT-d, Xenoprof is a profiling app (e.g. for
conducting performance analyses, etc). Don't worry about it :-)
Cheers,
Mark
I have an E8400 on an Intel DQ35JO motherboard and the references to
iommu_page_fault but I think that's just info and nothing else?
For
reference, this is on CentOS 5.2 w/custom Xen kernel I built using CentOS
xen kernel source (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5-xen-x86_64) with Xen 3.2.1 tarball.
