Hello,
I have a fresh install of ESXi and I went to pass through some devices but all devices are "not capable" for passthrough. I would really appreciate some ideas on how to fix this.
System:
ASUS MB M5A78LM with an AMD FX8320. ESXi is installed on an SSD connected to the MB SATA. I also have an LSI 9211-8i which has drives connected to it.The card was flashed to IT mode using latest firmware available P20. In the MB Bios, virtualization is enabled under CPU options. The device list does list everything, including the LSI card. I do also see all drives.
The fact that NO device is "capable" to pass through, it seems like something is wrong but I have no idea what. I've been searching and have seen a couple others having the same problem but no solution as of yet. I tried one suggestion and that was to disable VMkernel.Boot.disableACSCheck which had no effect.
In the logs tab, I see a few lines that seem to say something about it but searching has yet to lead me anywhere... still searching.
