My network devices passthru just fine because they're in their own groups. Since you said "PCI-passthrough on one of the VMs" I'm assuming you're talking about sys-net, and that you're not using a USB Qube (which would make it two VMs). And just because passthru doesn't work on one (Intel) system or another doesn't necessarily mean it's because of IOMMU grouping. There are plenty of different reasons it could break. In any case, yeah, I'm sure Intel systems have their problems too. I just happened to come across a lot of complaints about IOMMU grouping on AMD, especially Ryzen. But my main point was about Xen and Qubes with regards to IOMMU grouping. The AMD-vs-Intel matter is the least of my concerns. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
