AITHAL <bssrika...@in.ibm.com> - 2016-10-26 01:40:39 == ---Problem Description--- vfio_pci is not loaded by default on Ubuntu 16.10 host boot. All VFIO related tasks would fail without that module. For instance I was trying to boot guest with QEMU directly and it was failing complaining "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id" not present. root@c158f2u09os:~# lsmod | grep -i vfio root@c158f2u09os:~# modprobe vfio_pci <-- need to load explicitly root@c158f2u09os:~# lsmod | grep -i vfio vfio_pci 51735 0 irqbypass 5567 1 vfio_pci vfio_iommu_spapr_tce 14567 0 vfio_virqfd 4859 1 vfio_pci vfio 31351 2 vfio_iommu_spapr_tce,vfio_pci vfio_spapr_eeh 3441 2 vfio_iommu_spapr_tce,vfio_pci Either > we need to have these modules loaded by kernel by default or > we need to update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ppc64el/CommonQuestions telling customers to load vfio_pci module explicitly before attempting any vfio tasks.

After booting into Ubuntu 16.10, see if vfio_pci modules are loaded: root@c158f2u09os:~# lsmod | grep -i vfio 2.
