Hi,
I recently purchased a Terramaster F8 SSD Plus and added 8 NVMe drives, some of them are behind an onboard ASM2806.
I plan to use it as a home server and need pcie-passthrough, therefore VT-d is a must.
Unfortunately, I am not able to start the install process of proxmox if VT-d is enabled in bios.
When starting the installer it freezes at
Proxmox 8.3.2, Kernel 6.8.12-6-pve
What else I have tested:
Thanks in advance!

(see logs below)Proxmox 8.3.2, Kernel 6.8.12-6-pve
What else I have tested:
- Installing with VT-d disabled works perfectly and everything beside pcie-passthrough works great. If I then enable VT-d the system freezes during boot.
- Starting other linux distros also does not work with VT-D enabled
- Installing Truenas Core (BSD), Windows 11 and also the preinstalled OS TOS6 work with VT-d enabled
- In Truenas Scale forums people describe the same issue. They suspect it has to do with the ASM2806 chip.
I have also tried several of the recommended grub kernel parameters mentioned there but was not successful.
Thanks in advance!
