Ethernet problem after install 4.0.1 - qvm-start "sys-firewall' failed "unable to reset pci device" "no FLR, Pm reset or bus reset available"

[Bush Al]

Hi all, I am new to Qubes, and trying to install it on a new Intel 9600K with intel 219-V ethernet. Just after install i got the sys-firewall message above which seems weird as there should be no pci device in sys-firewall.

The boot.log says failed to start sys-net, sys_firewall and sys_whonix

unable to reset pci device 0000:00;1f.6 which is my ethernet card

systemctl status qube...@sys.net.service shows the unable to reset message and so does sys_firewall.

the libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log has messages about unable to read console tty which doesnt seem related and

libxl: libxl_pci.c:1176:libxl__device_pci_reset: The kernal doesn't support reset from sysfs for PCI device 0000:00:14.0 

libxl: libxl_pci.c:1176:libxl_linux.c:155:libxl_loopdev_cleanup unable to release device /dev/loop0: No such device or address

I have no idea where to go from here, though its obviously an issue with the network.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks

Al

Hi Al

Welcome to Qubes.

The problem is that your sys-net is unable to start because of the
ethernet card. (You see two messages because when sys-firewall tries to
start it tries to start its netvm , and reports *that* failure too.)

It should be quite easy to fix.
Open Qube Manager (under Menu -System Tools), Right-click on sys-net,
and open Qube Settings.
Click Devices Tab, and hit the "Configure strict reset" button at the
bottom of the pane.
Select the NIC in the window that opens, click OK.
Click OK.

Try to start sys-net.
