Wheezy - XEN pcipassthrough modul problem
Hi Folks,
i will use a PCI device in domU. Xen and Kernel are the latest ones from
Wheezy.
Reading many webpages about Xen and PCI I tried the following configuration.
module /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2-amd64 ... pci=resource_alignment=04:06.0
xen-pciback.hide=(04:06.0)
Before starting the domU I need to load the xen-pciback module.
modprobe xen-pciback gives me a symbol error
modprobe xen-pciback hide=(04:06.0) claims about illegal "(" and so on.
But:
insmod xen-pciback.ko hide=(04:06.0) works for me.
First Question: What is the difference. I also tried to add the hide
option in /etc/modprobe.d/pciback.conf
# Hide AVM
options xen-pciback hide=(0000:04:06.0)
and run depmod -a and modprobe also gives me the error above.
Second Question:
I think I have read, the pci boot parameters are not necessary using
xen-pciback as modul like the debian kernel provides it, but found no
clear answer. Could I remove the boot parameter?
Third and last Question (for the moment):
Is it early enough to run the driver unassigning and assigning to
pciback in /etc/rc.local to be able autostart the domU
Thanks for your help
Dirk
