Hi,

I'm (unsuccessfully) trying to pass-through a tape device, that is  
connected to the host, to a kvm guest (Windows 2003). The tape device  
is connected over SAS with a PCI card (aacraid).

First I tried to add the device with the following parameter
# ... -drive file=/dev/st0,if=scsi
  This leads to errors on the console and a crashes the guest after a  
while.

After this, I tried to pass-through the whole PCI card (with aacraid  
disabled in the host system)
# ... -pcidevice host=0a:00.0
This leads to crash in the guests BIOS state.

Therefore I tried to hot add the pci device in the monitor shell
# pci_add 0 host host=0a:00.0
At least I was able to start the machine this way. Windows did  
recognise the card, but was unable to start/use it (unspecified error  
-10).

Has anyone an idea how to get this to work?

-Kevin

PS: I'm using kvm-84 with the patches for OSX guest support
