Hi there,

i want to passthrough a NVIDIA 1050ti. If I follow the instructions in the Proxmox Wiki using the OVMF Bios I get the following error when I start the VM (Windows 10): "failed to get group 1"

kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10.0,multifunction=on: vfio: error opening /dev/vfio/1: Device or resource busy
kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10.0,multifunction=on: vfio: failed to get group 1
kvm: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10.0,multifunction=on: Device initialization failed

Should I re-activate the "pcie_acs_override=downstream" - Patch in the grub? Or is there any other problem causing this error?

fyI: I am passing a SAS-Controller through to another vm without any problems....

My VM-Config

bios: ovmf

Well... My CPU is the XEON 1230v3.... and there are iommu grouping issues with it... like it mentioned in the Proxmox Wiki :D

I re-activated the "pcie_acs_override=downstream"-patch and I don`t receive any errors :D
