RE: [Xen-devel] Will Xen support PCI add-on card for serial ports?



Thanks. I got it. We have hard coded the iobase and irq in the driver of Xen, but it doesn’t work. L

 

Thanks

That is the only change that I have made. But the dom0 still hang0.

 

Let me know if you are able to pass that.

 

Thanks,

Hi, Neo,

We are also interested in the PCI serial card enabling in Xen.

Will you share some experience here? Do you still do some other effort like enable the PCI devices or you just add the command line as you mails said before?

 

Thanks

Xiaohui

Keir,

Just commented out that function call, but it still hangs.

Thanks,

I had to patch dom0 kernel not to disable the serial interrupt line as it booted. I don't have the patch conveniently to hand unfortunately, but I think it was to remove the line 'acpi_ut_evaluate_object(..., "_DIS", ...)' in drivers/acpi/pci_link.c:acpi_pci_link_add().

Keir,

I tried your method with my serial port PCI card and I got the Xen output from it. But the Dom0 hangs later. Is there anyway to debug it?

com1=115200,8n1,0xc00,5 console=com1

...would set up console output at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1
stop bit. The I/O-port base for the UART has been determined to be 0xc00,
and the UART interrupts on IRQ line 5.

> BTW, do you know which PCI card can be supported by Xen?

No, I only have experience (and even that only a little) with unbranded
generic PCI serial cards.
