Hi,

i want to activate pcie passthrough. did this for several other dell servers.
But on my supermicro server it is not working. do ypu have any ideas?

TASK ERROR: cannot prepare PCI pass-through, IOMMU not present

Supermicro X10DRGH ( a GPU Server board with many pcie links )
BIOS 3.4
Xeon E5-4673 v3 2.4 Ghz
PVE 7.4-16

Intel Virtualisation: Enabled
Intel VT-D: Enabled

Config as recommended ( pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_pci_passthrough )
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
/etc/modules
/etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf

even tried
options vfio_iommu_type1 allow_unsafe_interrupts=1

The Solution:

i have updated an old proxmox server and the boot method switched from grub to systemd i guess?

nano /etc/kernel/cmdline
root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs intel_iommu=on

( The manual only mentions /etc/default/grub )
