Hi,
on my new FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE server based on an AsRock X570D4U with Ryzen 7 5700X I get the following error message when trying to start bhyve with one of the chipsets SATA controllers passed through to the guest:
I invoke bhyve with
The X570s chipset sports four SATA controllers. Two are connected to the two (currently unpopulated) M.2 slots on the mainboard, the other two are wired to 2x4 SATA ports on the board.
I want to pass through one of these (4 SATA ports) to a vm.
The pci devices 38 and 39 are onboard-nics that I plan to pass through other vms in the future.
What could be the cause for the failed initialization?
I have a feeling I have to tweak something in the BIOS, but am not sure...
What BIOS settings could be of importance here?
What else could cause this problem?
I've passed one SATA controller of a X570 chipset to a VM on an AsRock X570 Pro4 board with QEMU / Linux KVM before, so technically it is possible to do this.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
