[SOLVED] Gotta run update-grub for changes to take effect :rolleyes:

Hi, I am not able to figure out why I can't do a PCI pass through of the two Western Digital SSDs to a VM (or LXC for that matter).

My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX

I tried to add them to a VM but get this error... I did enable VT-d on the BIOS.

root@prox:~#
this is my output...what am I missing?
 
nano /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf

I just added the options of the vendor ID

options vfio-pci ids=8086:a352

According to some guide over reddit
 
looks like the above is the problem
Code:
options vfio-pci ids=8086:a352

however removing it still have the same problem with no mapping
 
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.5.13-3-pve root=/dev/mapper/pve-root ro quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt
In that case, VT-d is not enabled in the motherboard BIOS, or the motherboard does not support VT-d, or the CPU does not support VT-d. Check the Intel product specifications and/or contact your motherboard manufacturer for support.
 
now Im not able to see the HDD even with removing the options ID looks like I used the blacklist command wrong..how to troubleshoot?

as it shows at the boot but then HDD disappears
