However you are specifying a device, or your task is selecting the device, the device is either already allocated to something else, or it is boxed and has no I/O paths. I'm not a big VM guy, but is it possible you have a device defined to multiple guests, and you have it online to more than one, without some sort of device sharing synchronization software to make sure only one is using it at a time?
