[vbox-dev] igb_uio bind error

[Reda Haddad]

Hi,

I am trying to bind an igb_uio kernel module to the virtio-net device exposed by Virtualbox. I am getting an error "write error: No such device".

echo 0000:00:08.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/virtio-pci/unbind
echo 0000:00:08.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/bind
-bash: echo: write error: No such device

I am using VirtualBox 4.3.10 just installed today on MAC OS X 10.8.5

Any hints on what is the problem? Is this a known bug?

Thanks,

Reda

I guess that you are trying to use the DPDK.
I do not use virtio with the UIO, but instead, I use this PMD virtio
drivers that does not require UIO:
http://dpdk.org/doc/virtio-net-pmd
that you can download from:
http://dpdk.org/browse/virtio-net-pmd/snapshot/virtio-net-pmd-1.2.tar.gz

I strongly advise that you continue this thread on DPDK mailing list
(dev at dpdk.org).

Best regards,
Vincent
