The actual limitation is that we have only a single PCI bus. The network devices are single function devices. While there are 32 slots on the PCI bus, a few are already taken (typically the first 3, leaving 29 free slots). But, as Markus mentioned, this limitation is only for legacy command line option. The modern qdev way[1] should not hit this same limitation. thanks, -chris [1] http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Qdev_status -- 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
