 Re: ESXi 4.1 works on Asus M4A89GTD PRO
On the Intel side VT-d in strictly a chipset feature so the CPU doesn't matter. I would assume the same with AMD so it will depend on the chipset used for the MB.

I have tried everything and I cannot make it work the really strange thing is the mother is using the right firmware and chip-set but esxi still will not see it.

 Re: ESXi 4.1 works on Asus M4A89GTD PRO
Have you tried Xenserver or another hypervisor that would support passthrough?

 Re: ESXi 4.1 works on Asus M4A89GTD PRO
Does it definitely support IOMMU? Im sure Ive read it doesnt - http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?boa ... uage=en-usBut... The AMD 890FX Chipset is supposed to have a IOMMU so its mixed messages. Where abouts are you "supposed" to enable/turn it on? Thanks

 Re: ESXi 4.1 works on Asus M4A89GTD PRO
I contacted Asus and they confirmed that the motherboard is able to support but they could not tell me how to turn it on.

 Re: ESXi 4.1 works on Asus M4A89GTD PRO
Who could provide either the customized ESXi 4.1 CD, or the oem.tgz to add the realtek card support in ESXi 4.1 ?
The other issue I have with this MOBO. My Intel PRO/1000 MT PCI Card is not detected !
Any idea, suggestion ?
