I have updated to the April 01 (seriously hope it wasn't a joke). Anyways, afterwards the vm's I have all fail to start unless I # out the pci passthrough. So that means no WAN and LAN is down ; !@#! Ahhh ... Seems that there have been people BRICKING the system to go back to 1.02 for this very reason.

vfio-pci 0000:08:00.0 : Firmware has requested this device have a 1:1 IOMMU mapping, rejecting configuring the device without a 1:1 mapping. Contact your platform vendor.
kbm: -device vfio-pci,host=0000:08:00.0,id=hostpci0,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0: vfio 0000:08:00.0: failed to setup container for group 17: Failed to set group container: Invalid argument.

The really kicker here that gets is the necessary setting is locked out in the AMD menu ; unless there is a hidden menu I am unaware of it seems this update has brought down the server. Without a fix it could be for good. Can't say I would recommend the MS-A2 after this fiasco!

BTW ; AI says : " Once you're in NBIO Common Options, look for Kernel DMA Protection Indicator. The setting may be set to Auto by default; you should change it to Disabled"

This is maybe a common setting but we don't have access. Is there a Proxmox workaround .. My wife is looking at me like she wants to make me sleep outside in the camper due to the internet going down. AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh
