Hi Alex, I got a dell x86 machine with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz and I am passing one of two EHCI hosts - 00:1a.0 - to a guest, and at first it worked but now it would not start the guest at all and all I see in dmesg related to the thing is: [ 338.331640] vfio-pci 0000:00:1a.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 338.433717] vfio_cap_init: 0000:00:1a.0 hiding cap 0xa [ 352.296443] perf: interrupt took too long (8678 > 8277), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 23000 [ 381.438215] perf: interrupt took too long (11304 > 10847), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 17000 [ 417.441806] DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 3 [ 417.441813] DMAR: [DMA Read] Request device [00:1a.0] fault addr eb000 [fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set Does this look any familiar?
