if its a athlon II, then there is no vt-d. vt-d is a intel iommu

Hi there..
I've got the folowing error while trying to assign the video card from
Dom0 to DomU
Using config file "/etc/xen/winkk".
Error: failed to assign device: maybe the platform doesn't support VT-d,
or VT-d isn't enabled properly?
What Am I missing? obviously I've got VT support enable, cuz I was able
to create the Windows DomU.
Config file
pci=[ '01:05.0' ]
lspci
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9710
grub config
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.13 ro root=/dev/sda1
xen-pciback.hide=(01:05.0)
Anyway xm pci-list-assignable-devices show nothing, what's wrong?
Thanks is advance
Regards
VT-d support (PCI passthrough) is a subset of VT-x support. Not all
chipsets support VT-d nor is it required for full-virtualization of
guests. (i.e. Windows)
Cheers,
Daniel

I do not understad, what does it mean? that I shoud not be getting that
error and should be able to pass-throught the decive to my DomU?
Reading this - http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo, also added
iommy=1 to grub, but no luck, still do not get
why xm pci-list-assignable-devices show nothing, at least should show
01:05.0, in xen pci backend mode also used Virtual PCI just to test,
same behavior.
I'm using
2.6.31.13 #7 SMP Mon Jul 12 15:33:25 ART 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II
X4 630 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
All xen options compiled embeded, not modules/initramfs used.

Well, it seems there is no luck!! eventhough I thought this CPU was the
right for me, I made a bad move, or at least the svm
that this CPU supports it's not enough.
So, as for your comment, it seems the vt-d it's an intel feature only?
no way to export pci devices to DomU's using AMD?
Thanks for yor time and support..

If I recall, some people have had luck with AMD SVM. However, it's
heavily dependent on which motherboard/chipset you have and if it's
enabled. I'd have to search through the Xen list archives, but I
remember seeing some successes with AMD SVM for PCI passthrough. -- If
you've got the right hardware, Xen will support it.
It's just that Intel VT-d is more heavily used/documented as working.
Cheers,
Daniel
