fuck, it works on a standalone machine
god damnit
foiled again
dongs: this is an asus z8na-d6 motherboard
perhaps i'm encountering the same issue?
i have other unused pcie lanes, i could try it in another slot maybe
or throw out the radeon r9 290, it makes too much noise to mine with when i'm at home anyway

looks like its on an intel bridge?
still same issue
card worked in the standalone machine, but not in the vm via vt-d
b-rad: you were offline before when I tested the card in another machine. it works fine, it just wont passthrough
i've also tested it in another slot on the esxi server, the one that i currently have a radeon r9 290 in on which passthrough is working fine
it didn't work in that slot either
;ets see
rekoil: which line is the bridge
rekoil: what doesnt "work" in VM? did you enable it for passtrhough, and confirmed its actaully enabled (green check?) in esxi config?
oh, PCI bridges
PCI devices passtrhough (as opposed to PCIe) is a total crapshoot in esxi
i gaev up trying to use that and just moevd my harwdare to pcie
luckily the PCI stuff was custom in-house shit and we just switched to fpga with pcie on it.
yeah i don't know man
that dell perc card and the r9 290 works fine passthrough
tjey
they're PCIe tho right?
just the quadhd that doesnt
yes
are TV cards PCI or PCIe?
this one is pcie
oh hm.
but it looks like its on a pci bridge?
> and confirmed its actaully enabled (green check?) in esxi config?
green check?
there's a mark that shows up once device is ready for passthrough
after a reboot
its different from the one where it fails to pass
like i said i have other devices running in passthrough, i know how to passthrough a device
yeah. but is. it. actually. passing. through.
yes. it. is. actually. passing. through
the linux vm sees the card fine
and shows up in guest OS pci device list?
yes
and stops working there?
yes
also in windows
ok, thats quite shitty.
yes, indeed
what digital tv system is this for?
dvb-c
https://www.tbsdtv.com/products/tbs6514_dtmb_dvb_c_quad_tuner_pcie_card.html i suggest this as a replacement
bonus, it has actually working drivers that aren't RE;d from hacked docs
and as long as you're behidn Pericom bridge, the FPGA should work as well. (these don't work behind asmedia bridge)
i think the pericom bridge is on the hauppauge card?
either way i'm using this for plex media server, and there are no tbs cards listed as supported in plex
rekoil: oh
rekoil: why the fuck would end-user software care about underlying hardware if lunixtv API is supposed to abstract all that
opening /dev/dvb/fuckoff should be identical everywhere
isn't that the whole point?
lunix is such a giant waste of time sometimes (wait, no, i'm lying, all the time)
