I also check the VM dmesg ,it shows that "Failed to initialize MSI interrupts. Falling back to legacy interrupts." more detail information please look into the picture attached. best regards, qinguan 2011/5/4 guan qin <qinguan0619@gmail.com>

Hi,

I encounter a problem that the eth can't be up in the VM by using VT-d. I boot the VM using "virsh create vt_d.xml". The VM could recongize the NIC which was assigned .then I do in VM as follows: #cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate down #ifconfig eth0 up #cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate down #ficonfig eth 10.100.0.5 #cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate down

I look into the qemu log file ,find that :

maybe the VM can't access to the network because of Failed to assign irg for "hostdev0"?
