The bug is in add_assigned_device(): r = get_param_value(id, sizeof(id), "id", arg); if (!r) r = get_param_value(id, sizeof(id), "name", arg); if (!r) r = get_param_value(id, sizeof(id), "host", arg); We end up with invalid ID "00:19.0". Is there a technical reason why we must have an ID? I doubt it. Work-around: -device pci-assign,host=00:19.1 See the last section of docs/qdev-device-use.txt for details. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
