Hey everyone! I’m trying to pass through a USB PCIE card to a VM and unfortunately it is in a group with other devices that the host relies on.
I did some digging and apparently the linux-vfio package from the AUR includes the ACS patch and therefore should help. The version listed in pamac is linux-vfio 5.11.6.arch1-1
but I’m currently on kernel 5.9.16-1
. Is it safe to install the latest version or should I try and find one closest to my current kernel? If so, how would I download the one for my kernel?
I’m new to Manjaro and VFIO so sorry if this is a dumb question.
Specs:
Manjaro 20.2.1 - Kernel 5.9.16-1
Ryzen 5 3600
MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon
NVIDIA GTX 970 (host)
NVIDIA GT 710 (passed to VM)
