Hi, I'm trying to pass a pcie-device into a kvm guest. qemu-kvm is started by libvirt with this command: LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin HOME=/root USER=root LOGNAME=root QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name test -uuid cefc7515-c0c2-27fc-8e7e-e0a65f9cb95b -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/test.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=utc -boot c -drive file=/dev/vg_main/test,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -device virtio-net-pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d0:84:c7,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -net tap,fd=59,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k de -vga cirrus -device pci-assign,host=05:00.0,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 It failes with: Failed to assign irq for "hostdev0": Operation not permitted Perhaps you are assigning a device that shares an IRQ with another device?

So the rights shouldn't be an issue too. The processor is an Intel Core i7-860 on an Asus P7F-E board, chipset is an Intel 3420. Bios is ver 0607, vt-d is enabled in bios setup. This is logged in dmesg, so to me it seems like the system is indeed vt-d capable: [...] ACPI: Core revision 20091214 DMAR: Host address width 36 DMAR: DRHD base: 0x000000fed90000 flags: 0x1 IOMMU fed90000: ver 1:0 cap c90780106f0462 ecap f020e3 DMAR: RMRR base: 0x000000000e4000 end: 0x000000000e7fff DMAR: RMRR base: 0x000000bf7ec000 end: 0x000000bf7fffff DMAR: No ATSR found Setting APIC routing to physical flat ..TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1 CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz stepping 05 [...] IOMMU 0xfed90000: using Queued invalidation IOMMU: Setting RMRR: IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.0 [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf800000] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.0 [0xbf7ec000 - 0xbf800000] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1d.0 [0xe4000 - 0xe8000] IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1a.0 [0xe4000 - 0xe8000] IOMMU: Prepare 0-16MiB unity mapping for LPC IOMMU: Setting identity map for device 0000:00:1f.0 [0x0 - 0x1000000] alloc irq_desc for 29 on node 0 alloc kstat_irqs on node 0 PCI-DMA: Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Intel PCLMULQDQ-NI instructions are not detected. [...] Kernel is 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64. I tried qemu-0.12.3-8.fc13 as it came with Fedora 13 beta and qemu-kvm-0.12.4, same results. Any idea whats going wrong or what else I could try?
