hi,
I follows 'Linux Mint Forum - HOW-TO make dual-boot obsolete using XEN VGA passthrough' and it works.
My setup:
CPU: intel i7-3770
M/B: asrock z77 pro4
dom0 graphics: intel integrated
domU graphics: AMD Radeon HD6750
dom0 OS: Ubuntu Server 14.04 + Gnome Desktop + Virtualization
domU OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit (with Catalist Control Center, No GPLPV drivers)
dom0 memory: 8GB
domU memory: 8GB
Toolstack: xl
Device model: device_model_version = 'qemu-xen-traditional'
/etc/default/grub:
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="iommu=1 dom0_mem=2048M"
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
Code:
xen-pciback passthrough=1 hide=(01:00.0)(01:00.1)
/etc/xen/win7.cfg:
Code:
builder='hvm'
memory = 8192
name = 'windows7'
vcpus=6
pae=1
acpi=1
apic=1
on_xend_stop='shutdown'
on_poweroff='destroy'
on_reboot='restart'
on_crash='restart'
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:68:e1:01,bridge=virbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/guest/windows7/disk.img,ioemu:hda,w' , 'file:/guest/windows7/windows7.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model_version='qemu-xen-traditional'
boot='dc'
sdl=0
vnc=1
#vncpasswd=''
vnccolsole=0
vncused=0
vncdisplay=2
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
tsc_mode='default'
viridian=1
usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'
gfx_passthru=0
pci=[ '01:00.0', '01:00.1' ]
localtime=1
pci_power_mgmt=1
xen_platform_pci=1
pci_msitranslate=1
hpet=1
Everything goes fine except Windows 7 booting is seemed a lot slower than normal.
There's no guest reboot problem at all.
But guest has a problem for the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and I wonder it is normal under VGA passthrough or not.
I hope this helps.
Shocky
