[vfio-users] SB X-Fi Titanium passthrough

2016-02-08 Thread Daniel Browne

Switching over to Nouveau did the trick, at least for this issue. I was able to start the VM without hanging and had a different error which I fixed by passing it a ROM file for my GPU.

I'm using command-line arguments, not libvirt. A quick Google suggests that you need to define a number of iothreads in the XML and them assign them to the drivers, like: ... 1 ... ... ... It's pretty much the XML equivalent of what you'd write on the command-line. Regards
