I converted a Zotac GT640 2GB into a Grid K1. All seems to be recognized as supposed (Grid K1). I am able to use the card in XenServer as Passthhrough, however I am unable to use the vGPU capabilities.
HereĀ“s what I did so far:
- Installed a XenServer 6.2 Hypervisor.
- Upgraded it with SP1 and added the following HotFixes: SP1009 and SP1011
- Installed NVIDIA-vgx-xenserver-6.2-340.57.i386.rpm
- Disabled the "64-bit Memory Mapped I/O" in BIOS and Restarted
I am able to see the virtual GPUs in XenCenter (and I am able to add them to the VMs), however, I cannot boot them since I always get this error in messages log:

Has anybody been able to successfully virtualize a converted Grid K1 GPU in XenServer?
