Hi again everybody, One of the admins at the ProxmoxVE project was gracious enough to quickly release a package including the previously discussed change to allow up to 32 NICs in qemu. For future reference the .deb is here: ftp://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/lenny/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-qemu-kvm_0.12.5-2_amd64.deb Upon creating & running the VM with the newly patched qemu-kvm app installed, I found a NIC limitation remained in place, presumably imposed by some other aspect of the environment. The machine would start when it had 33 PCI devices, as long as no more than 28 of them were NICs. This is still a vast improvement compared to the previous limit of 8 NICs, and is very good news for my project. I post here in hopes that maybe someone will come across the link in a search and have a solution. More likely however the new API will be in place and widely in use by then, but whatever. Either way, thanks for your help yesterday. -- 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
