Hi, I try to use VT-d, but meet with a strange problem . I create a VM through "virsh create ***.xml",as follows: root@shahe26:~# virsh create vt_d_debian.xml Domain vt_d_debian created from vt_d_debian.xml root@shahe26:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 vt_d_debian running root@shahe26:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 vt_d_debian running root@shahe26:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 vt_d_debian running root@shahe26:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- 4 vt_d_debian no state root@shahe26:~# virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------- root@shahe26:~# vim vt_d_debian.xml The VM has already killed itself. user.log: May 4 06:53:30 shahe26 libvirtd: 06:53:30.649: warning : qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs:1422
