Hi, I just recently started to play with vfio, since the new Kernel 3.6 comes directly with an integrated vfio-stack. My problem currently is, that I'm not able to bind the vfio-pci to the (unused) smbus controller in my laptop. Here are the steps I did and the related results: # modprobe vfio-pci [ 1609.065705] VFIO - User Level meta-driver version: 0.3 # lspci ... 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) ... # lspci -n -s 0000:00:1f.3 00:1f.3 0c05: 8086:1c22 (rev 05) # echo 8086 1c22 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id [ 4485.759148] vfio-pci: probe of 0000:00:1f.3 failed with error -22 I omitted the unbind step, which is described in the documentation, since the device is not claimed by any driver at all. Also the "error -22" statement isn't really helping in this case. Any ideas? -- Gruß Dominic Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) Ruth-Moufang-Straße 1 D-60438 Frankfurt am Main Germany Phone: +49 69 79844114 -- 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
