Hi gurus:
I'm working on a FreeBSD virtulizaion project under KVM. Everything works fine, except the 10G Intel 82599 SFP NIC. I'm sure there are some body else who have encountered this problem before. See: FreeBSD guest with VTD NIC not passing traffic http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/83806 VT-d not working for FreeBSD 9.0 guest http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/91074 But, unfortunately, none of them solved it or gave the clearly way to solve it. :< Firstly, let's make it clearly. This problem could not be reproduced with: 1. Xen hypervisor + FreeBSD guest os 2. or KVM + Linux guest os (e.g. Fedora 12) So, it must be something wrong with KVM or FreeBSD. Here is my environment: Host OS: OpenSUSE 12.2 Linux linux-kj2u 3.4.6-2.10-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26 09:36:26 UTC 2012 (641c197) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux QEMU emulator version 1.1.1 (kvm-1.1.1-1.8.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard Guest OS: FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 What I did: 1.Make the pci device of 82599SFP assignale: [CODE] 0d:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01) Subsystem: QLogic, Corp.
