Double check your CPU mode, 4440K doesn't exist according to http://ark.intel.com/ The unlocked K models often (typically) do not support VT-d, in which case you're out of luck with this CPU. Thanks, Alex --- Alex, thanks. Yeah, it is a i7-4770k, and I did set the grub line: grep iommu /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on" Darn, http://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz?q=4770k looks like am out of luck :( Oh well, will just set up some storage from the host and pass that through to the guest. Thank you, and one I shall watch for next time. -- 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
