[libvirt-users] No IOMMU found. Unable to assign device
Hi, I am playing around with PCI passthrough and came across some posts that said you could not do PCI passthrough unless you had IOMMU hardware. which it would appear I don't Is this the case? Am I flogging a dead horse? Thanks, Marco -- Marco van Beek ========================================== Supporting Role Ltd.

That's correct. You need a mainboard that supports Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi. Start here (http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-030922.htm ) for Intel. Not sure where to find a list of AMD boards. Without IOMMU you need to rely on emulation. -dmw On 04/21/2011 09:57 AM, Marco van Beek wrote:

This page ( http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo ) also lists motherboards that has the AMD IOMMU feature. The MSI 890FXA-GD70 is no longer in beta, i.e. IOMMU now comes with the official BIOS firmware from 1.8 and up. On 2011-04-21 20:47, David White wrote:
