hello all,

trying to activate IOMMU, to passthrough a pci card to a host.
upgraded to Virtual Environment 8.1.4

my motherboard:
dmidecode -t 2 # dmidecode 3.4 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 15 bytes Base Board Information Manufacturer: ASUSTeK Computer INC. Product Name: P7P55D-E EVO Version: Rev 1.xx Serial Number: 103169960000107 Asset Tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. Features: Board is a hosting board Board is replaceable Location In Chassis: To Be Filled By O.E.M. Chassis Handle: 0x0003 Type: Motherboard Contained Object Handles: 0

maybe the problem:
root@pve:~# dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU [ 0.015302] ACPI: DMAR 0x00000000BFE880C0 000090 (v01 AMI OEMDMAR 00000001 MSFT 00000097) [ 0.015332] ACPI: Reserving DMAR table memory at [mem 0xbfe880c0-0xbfe8814f] [ 0.059950] DMAR: IOMMU enabled [ 0.064302] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: Your BIOS is broken; DMAR reported at address fed90000 returns all ones!

That looks good, but that only leaves that VT-d (Intel's name for IOMMU) is not enabled (fully) in the motherboard BIOS or not supported by the CPU or the chipset. My guess is that the Intel P55 (14.5 years old) does not support VT-d, or did I not guess your motherboard chip correctly?.

EDIT: VT-d is mentioned in the manual, so I a bit confused now. Does your CPU support VT-d? What is your CPU? Is it enabled in the BIOS?

There are two devices in group 15 (PCI(e) bridges don't count). Maybe you can fix the IRQ issue with a BIOS setting? Maybe pass them both through to the VM? Maybe make sure to have both early bound to vfio-pci? The usual trial and error of PCI(e) passthrough...
