Hello!

I am fighting since many days with my Intel x520-DA2 NIC to passtrough it in a VM.
As im not able to find a solution, i want to try to ask you for help.

Important context:
This is a new machine and i use proxmox the first time. The installation was around 2-3 weeks ago.
Proxmox is updated. The Kernel as of now is: proxmox-kernel-6.8.4-3-pve-signed (6.8.4-3)
My System has a built-in 2.5GB Lan-Port from the motherboard. I added 1x Intel XXV710-AM2 (fs.com branded) & 1x Intel x520-DA2.

I can passtrough the XXV710-AM2 without any problems, it worked directly and has no problems so far.
However when trying to passtrough the x520-DA2 i get following errors when trying to startup the vm.
The VM will not start but stop instantly after trying to start it. (This is a list with all errors, when switching PCI settings):

VM Settings:
Ram: 8GB
Processors: 6 (host)
Machine: q35
SCSI Controller: VirtIO SCSI single

I have also tried several VM-Types but the error stays. So this seems to be not Vm-Type related.
There are many wikis and tutorials i read and i tried basicly everything, but the error just stays.
I don't know where to look and what further steps i can take to solve this.
It would make my day if someone could have a look and maybe give me some hints.


Here are the relevant configs:

Code: 
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on"

Code: 
/etc/modules:

vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd

Code: 
/etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf:

blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist ixgbe


/etc/modprobe.d/vfio-pci.conf :

options vfio-pci ids=8086:158b,8086:10fb

Edit:
I just found following entries in dmesg, maybe this has soemthing to do with the problem:

After following down the rabbit hole of the NIC BAR not able to assign memory, i managed to solve it.
I want to share my solution for the small chance someone is having the same issue and lands at this post somehow.

The problem with the memory assigning is because the x520 NIC operates in 32bit BAR, while the system uses 64bit BAR.
This is also the reason why the XXV710 card worked perfectly, as this card runs default in 64bit BAR mode.
As soon as I have recognized the connection, i only had to use the Intel BootUtil to first enabling flashing the card with:

Bash: 
BOOTUTIL64E.EFI -NIC=x -FLASHENABLE

After that i had to reboot and use the tool again to set the 64bit BAR mode with:

Bash: 
BOOTUTIL64E.EFI -NIC=x -64e

I had to do it for every interface on the card, as they are listed seperate. To get the list i just run the BootUtil without any arguments.
Then i had to reboot again and after that the Intel x520 just perfectly worked.
