You seem to get the AMD-Vi errors even before using VFIO, so I'd suspect
there's something wrong with the setup from the beginning. Copying
Joerg in case he has any ideas. You can also try the
disable_hugepages=1 module option for vfio_iommu_type1 (can also be set
via sysfs), but I'm not sure it's related. Can you assign other devices
installed in the same slot? Thanks,
Alex
