Re: Hard and silent lock up since linux 3.14 with PCIe pass through (vfio)

shortly: I retested w/ qemu 2.1.0 and Linux 3.17.0 - no change in behaviour.

It could be a pci problem, too? It is strange, that there is no problem
with the pci-card, but the pcie card hangs the machine!

Same problem with 3.17.0

Same problem With qemu 2.1.0.

Same problem :-(. The machine really is completely dead: it even pings
any more.
