Thanks that did the trick and I have no idea how 01:00.0 got attached to both 
sys-net and sys-firewall but both function now.

[qubes-users] sys-net will not start after windows installed as a templateHVM

2016-11-30 Thread stevemichaelphone
sys-net and sys-firewall were both running fine before I installed Win 7 x64. 
qvm-start sys-net fails with the message:
ERROR: PCI device 01:00.0 does not exist (domain sys-net)
lspci confirms the device 01:00.0 does not in fact exist

Other notes: 
qvm-start Win7 --drive=/dev/sdb produces the same result as does qvm-start Win7 
--cdrom=/dev/cdrom

Fedora-23 is the template for sys-net

I must be missing something really basic that, as a noob, I don't understand.
The command qvm-block -a Win7 dom0:sdb returns
ERROR: VM Win7 not running.

This seems like a catch 22 since I can't start the VM because there's no 
bootable file system yet nor can I attach a device to a not running VM.

qvm-usb -l shows my stick at dom0:3-2
qvm-usb -a Win7 dom0:3-2 gives the error message "VM Win7 not running". Win7 is 
an HVM template that has no boot information and therefore won't start.

[qubes-users] How to install Win 7 x64 from a USB stick

2016-11-29 Thread stevemichaelphone
I'm a total newbie. I've been searching for a howto to boot the Win7 domain 
from a USB stick so that Windows installs from the USB stick. I went thru the 
process to attach the PCI channel using qvm-pci -a command in Dom0. When I 
checked the Win7 Devices in VM Manager I see 00:14.0 USB Controller ...

What I can't figure out is how to get the domain to boot from the USB stick nor 
have my searches been fruitful. When I try to boot the domain I get a PCI error 
that isn't displayed long enough for me to make a note of it. The log file for 
the domain in VM Manager is greyed out.

I'm stuck.
